The BALR has provided a focus for exchange of ideas between all manner of respiratory researchers, basic scientist and clinician alike, to ferment collaboration and to further fundamental pulmonary research for over twenty years, thus fulfilling the initial aims of the society to promote respiratory research throughout the UK. As part of this process the Association has published a number of consensus statements in peer-reviewed journals, and also two series of review articles in Thorax and Biologist.
 

The BALR is active in the UK Respiratory Research Collaborative (UKRRC)

To promote interest and encourage studies in the field of experimental research, related to the elucidation of normal lung function and the mechanisms of lung disease.

To promote an interchange of ideas between workers in this field, including the organisation of regular scientific meetings.

To encourage the exchange of materials and techniques between laboratories, for their mutual assistance and as a means of standardisation in appropriate areas of research.
