Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Research Grant

Research Grants are intended to support efforts that will improve the understanding of disease pathogenesis, such as defects in airway defense, microbial adaption to the CF lung, mucociliary clearance and airway hydration, and extrapulmonary manifestations of the disease. Applicants seeking to submit proposals focused on topics such as the restoration of CFTR protein function or approaches to fix/replace the defective CFTR gene should apply through the Path to a Cure Research Grant Program. Proposals must be hypothesis driven and contain sufficient preliminary data to justify support from the CFF. Proposals that aim to develop tools or reagents that will facilitate research may be considered through this mechanism. Information derived from such studies will hopefully lead to submission to other funding agencies, such as the NIH.
