Your lived experience with cystic fibrosis is key to improving outcomes for everyone affected by the disease. That's why researchers, clinicians, and the CF Foundation are eager to hear from as many voices as possible. By sharing your insights and experiences through these Community Voice and other opportunities, you can help shape the future of CF research, care, and programs.
Members of the CF community are invited to share their voice through surveys, focus groups, committees, and more. Below, you'll find a selection of current projects as well as ongoing opportunities to share your experiences.
