Research Grants
The CF Foundation offers competitive awards for research related to cystic fibrosis. Studies may be carried out at the subcellular, cellular, animal, or patient levels. Two of these funding mechanisms include Pilot and Feasibility Awards and Research Grants. Investigators who seek support from the Foundation under these funding mechanisms must submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) by May 1st.
Pilot and Feasibility Awards and Research Grants are issued primarily for basic science research. Those proposals that include methodologies requiring sampling of materials from human subjects will only be considered under this mechanism if the sampling method constitutes minimal patient risk (e.g., venipuncture) and patient samples or data are anonymous. For applications where more invasive procedures are proposed or where patient samples or data will not be anonymous, please submit a Letter of Intent for aClinical Research Award.
Also, the CF Foundation offers physician-scientist training awards, including theLeRoy Matthews Physician/Scientist Award and the Harry Shwachman Clinical Investigator Award. (LOIs are not required for Matthews or Shwachman Awards.)
In addition, the CF Foundation will consider NIH applications that have received a competitive score but missed the payline under the CFF/NIH-unfunded award mechanism. These applications are accepted on an on-going basis.
