Those seeking interdisciplinary clinical research projects are encouraged to learn about the Multiple Principal Investigator Award. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation expects investigators from distinct subspecialties or research disciplines to collaborate, with opportunities for those in translational medicine. Projects must have 2-3 independent investigators (no less or more), and those that bring new investigators and technologies into the CF research community will be given highest priority.
Research projects may be designed to test new hypotheses and/or new methods or to advance established results with the potential to address diagnosis, treatment, management of disease or symptoms, or the pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis using clinical (observational/interventional), translational, or epidemiologic study approaches.
Interested parties should refer to the key research priorities of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Each research priority is categorized under the key areas of focus, for Cure, Care, and Community, which contain many relevant areas for translational medicine.
