Aim: The CF Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis, and is pleased to announce the release of the Spring 2020 Clinical Research Award. The Clinical Research Award (CRA) provides support for investigator-initiated clinical research projects that address diagnosis, treatment, management of disease or symptom, or the pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis. The Clinical Pilot and Feasibility Award (CPFA) enables collection of sufficient preliminary data to determine the best strategies and methods for approaching a major question; special consideration will be given to those projects that pursue new approaches, under-researched topics, or more creative avenues of research to address the problems of cystic fibrosis.
Funding: CRA – USD $150’000/year (single-center), $350’000/year (multi-center)
CPFA – USD $80’000/year
Duration: CRA – up to 3 years
CPFA – up to 2 years
Eligibility: Applicants must be independent investigators. Applicants must hold faculty level positions. Fellows may submit applications; however, funding will be considered only if they will hold a faculty-level appointment at the time of the award. Industry-sponsored research projects are not eligible for this award.
How to Apply: Letters of intent and full applications are both submitted at the online portal proposalCENTRAL. First-time applicants must register to create a username and password for proposalCENTRAL and will need to complete a profile online before applying. A template for the LoI is available on proposalCENTRAL. To access it, follow the instructions in section VII of the Policies and Guidelines form. If your proposal passes to the Full Application stage, a special form will be required for International Institutions. Please contact the Research Office for assistance completing this form.

Deadline, Full Application (upon invitation): 10 February 2020 (5:00 pm ET)
