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.
