Clinical Research Award

Clinical Research Awards are offered to provide support for investigator-initiated clinical research projects that have the potential to make an important contribution to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s mission. Research projects may address diagnosis, treatment, management of disease or symptom, or the pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis using clinical (observational/interventional), translational, or epidemiologic study approaches. Applicants must demonstrate access to sufficient numbers of CF patients and appropriate controls.

Up to $150,000 per year (plus 12% indirect costs) for a maximum of three years may be requested for single-center clinical research awards. For multi-center clinical research, the potential award is up to $350,000 per year (plus 12% for indirect costs) for a maximum of three years. Up to an additional $50,000 over the entire project period may be available via supplemental funding.
