LAM Treatment Alliance Fact Sheet
- The LAM Treatment Alliance was founded on a simple premise. As long as women continue to die prematurely without access to an effective treatment to slow or stop LAM, we will be exclusively dedicated to the search for a treatment with the gusto of one with no time to waste. We operate as if the possibility that the disease may progress quickly resides in us all. We are committed to acting without losing time, and to thinking inside as well as outside the box.
- Excellence, impact and collaboration are our core values.
- Funding the best and the brightest in particular areas of expertise, we
- Sponsor and promote research into LAM with the goal of finding a treatment and/or cure for the disease;
- Facilitate the education of the scientific and medical communities, as well as the general public, about advances in scientific knowledge relating to LAM by publishing the results of our sponsored research;
- Sponsor seminars, brainstorming and problem-solving meetings and conferences for the scientific and medical communities about LAM-related research in order to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among experts in various scientific fields relevant to LAM;
- Conduct any other activities that may be necessary, convenient and incidental to the furtherance of our charitable, scientific and educational purposes.
- Our mission is to find a treatment for LAM in the fastest time possible by supporting an aggressively funded research strategy.
- We match the highest priority research projects with those researchers, labs and institutions best equipped to carry out that work. We recruit scientists, facilitate research collaborations and accept proposals on a rolling basis.
- Our organization is committed to facilitating high-quality and high-impact LAM research through funding scientific awards, supporting increased dialogue and collaboration among LAM researchers and leaders in relevant fields and across disciplines and institutions.
- As an organization entirely dedicated to supporting the work of moving LAM science forward, our goal is to stay lean without sacrificing the quality of research or the integrity of the scientific process. We are committed to keeping the science cumulative and thus partnering with other foundations and institutions in order that all funds generated in the name of research have greatest aggregate impact.
