Award programs selected for grant funding—LSDF 08-01

LSDF proudly announces its 08-01 grant competition, "Innovative Research Projects to Improve Health and Health Care," awardees. The health research projects will focus on prostate cancer imaging, safer in-home environments for older and disabled adults, recovery from brain damage, soft tissue calcification, pain localization and diagnostic smart cards. Funding for these grant programs comes from Washington's allocation of bonus payments under the Master Tobacco Settlement, revenues arising from multi-state litigation with tobacco product manufacturers. This LSDF group of awardees is the second to be funded through this mechanism.
