The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is requesting applications with a letter of intent for innovative registry-based analyses that aim to test novel methods to advance the use of the Foundation’s Patient Registry.
The Research Additional Mentoring Program (RAMP) Award is designed to enable promising early-career physician scientists seeking additional research mentoring outside of their home academic institutions to enhance their clinical or translational research proficiency and support their development of the necessary clinical research capabilities to become independent investigators.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the fight against CF, and our scientific portfolio reflects our drive to provide effective treatments and — one day — a cure to every individual with this disease.
Based in Lexington, Mass., the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Lab conducts groundbreaking CF research to help rapidly advance new therapies.
Cystic fibrosis occurs when the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein is either not made correctly, or not made at all. By understanding how the protein is made, scientists have been able to develop treatments that target the protein and restore its function.
The journey to end cystic fibrosis isn't a straight line. It is an evolving map with many paths and unique challenges. It requires an ambitious research agenda to accelerate treatments and drug development for the underlying cause of the disease and ultimately deliver a cure.
