Like vitamins, minerals also help with normal growth, function and maintenance of good health. Individuals with cystic fibrosis can be deficient in these minerals.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is requesting letters of intent for research projects that aim to use available clinical trials in organ transplantation specimens and/or clinical data to improve knowledge of chronic lung allograft dysfunction pathogenesis and explore new approaches to detection, prevention, monitoring, or treatment of chronic lung allograft dysfunction.
We offer awards for cystic fibrosis research and for professional development and training. Below is a list of current and upcoming funding opportunities.
