Pfizer, Lung Health Foundation (LHF), Lung Cancer Canada (LCC), and the Quebec Lung Association (QLA) are collaborating to offer a new grant opportunity seeking proposals for quality improvement initiatives focused on improving the care of outcomes of Canadians living with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with special focus on improving health equity in this setting.
