Dedicated statistical expertise is increasingly important to conducting rigorous clinical research in cystic fibrosis. Most clinical investigators, regardless of experience level, lack adequate training to conduct studies without the assistance of a dedicated biostatistician to assist with the design, implementation, and analysis of results.

This program is intended to attract existing statisticians into local CF research communities by providing a funded effort specific to CF clinical research at those sites. This activity may include:

analyzing existing data
assisting in the preparation of applications
designing and assisting with the conduction of prospective clinical studies
performing data analysis and publishing new results

Applications are encouraged from either CF clinical investigators who identify a faculty or staff statistician at their home institution or faculty statisticians who already have an existing relationship with the local CF Therapeutics Development Center (TDC).

General Guidelines and Eligibility

Applications will be accepted from individuals at domestic academic institutions that are CF accredited TDCs. U.S. residents and applicants from outside the United States are welcome to apply. Students are not supported by this program.

Please see individual award policies and guidelines for additional guidelines and eligibility criteria. Eligibility requirements vary by award type.
