The purpose of the concept proposal is to provide the CF Foundation with sufficient detail to determine whether the proposed randomized controlled trial addresses a therapy intiation and modification on ETI (TIME) area of interest in which we need good evidence, and to determine the feasibility and likelihood of success of the proposed study resulting in meaningful results and changes in the treatment paradigm. Concept proposals may include requests for planning support to develop a full application, the use of CF Foundation network resources, and assistance in identifying potential collaborators to successfully execute a large, multi-center clinical study. Concept proposals requesting TDNCC services and collaboration will undergo additional review to evaluate the capacity of the network to provide any requested resources.
