These awards are for developing and testing new hypotheses and/or methods, and supporting promising new investigators as they establish themselves in research areas relevant to cystic fibrosis. Information derived from such studies will hopefully lead to submission to other funding agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health.
Proposed work must be hypothesis-driven and must reflect innovative approaches to critical questions in CF research. Support may be requested for $50,000 per year (plus 12% for indirect costs) for up to two years. Priority will be placed on those projects that propose to better understand the mechanisms behind disease pathophysiology and to develop strategies to prevent or treat CF.
Projects proposing interventional clinical studies must not be submitted through this funding mechanism and should instead apply for aClinical Pilot and Feasibility Award. 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 thePath to a Cure (PTAC) Pilot and Feasibility Award Program.
Topics for the PTAC program include, but are not limited to, characterization of rare CFTR mutations, nonsense modulation, gene editing/replacement strategies, and characterizing cellular targets for CFTR correction. ## Policies and Guidelines Applicants may submit only**one**Pilot and Feasibility Award application in 2026 (either the Spring or Fall cycle).
