Our methodology
Each year the Scientific Committee selects researchers under 40 with mini-grants of €3,000. Selection is meritocratic, independent and based on public criteria. The hybrid funding model links sport to research: those who run or challenge themselves directly fund a lung cancer study.
- Open Calls: Annual merit-based selection.
- Peer Review: External scientific evaluation.
- Open Access: Results published and shared.
