Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Pilot and Feasibility Award

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Pilot and Feasibility Award

Program Summary 

Pilot and Feasibility Awards are offered to support projects that will develop and test new hypotheses and/or new methods (or those being applied to the problems of cystic fibrosis for the first time), and to support promising new investigators as they establish themselves in research areas relevant to cystic fibrosis. The intent of these awards is to enable investigators to collect sufficient data to compete successfully for support from the NIH or other funding agencies. Special consideration will be given to those projects that propose innovative and creative approaches to the problems of CF. Applications for continued funding of the same project, or for long-term support of an investigator, will not be considered.
