- Include open opportunities for active engagement by people with CF and/or their family members and friends, ideally on a national scale or in service of an otherwise underrepresented group

Please note: CF Foundation chapter groups or accredited CF care centers (e.g., parent or patient advisory councils, care centers, chapter or center-based support groups, etc.) are not eligible to apply. Other examples of ineligible programs include international programs; those that distribute medical treatment/equipment or support medical research; and those that provide direct financial payment to program participants.
