Uniting Against Lung Cancer
Uniting Against Lung Cancer (UALC) is a United States-based nonprofit organization dedicated to funding innovative research and raising awareness to find a cure for lung cancer[1]. Established as a continuation of Joan’s Legacy: The Joan Scarangello Foundation to Conquer Lung Cancer, UALC was inspired by the legacy of Joan Scarangello, a journalist and nonsmoker who died of lung cancer in 2001, 20 years after her own mother succumbed to the same disease[5].
Mission and Focus
UALC focuses on supporting lung cancer research with the potential to significantly improve treatment options and ultimately find a cure[1][2]. The organization funds promising research projects, encouraging both emerging and established investigators. Over its history, UALC has awarded more than $10 million in research grants, which have subsequently leveraged over $50 million in additional funding from other sources[2][5].
Activities and Impact
To foster collaboration and innovation, UALC holds annual meetings that bring together its grantees—both junior and senior investigators—to exchange knowledge and receive expert feedback from leading physician-scientists working in lung cancer treatment and research[5]. This approach supports a community committed to advancing lung cancer science and improving patient outcomes.
In 2015, UALC merged with the Lung Cancer Research Foundation to strengthen the fight against this deadly disease, combining resources and expertise to enhance their impact[4].
Legacy and Recognition
UALC honors the memory of Joan Scarangello by continuing her fight against lung cancer, a disease that affects both smokers and nonsmokers alike. The foundation's efforts have positioned it as a significant player in the lung cancer research community, dedicated to closing funding gaps and accelerating progress towards better treatments and a cure[5].
