Funding Details

Requirements: Areas of Encouragement are research topics that are considered gaps in our knowledge in the detection and monitoring, diagnosis, or treatment of a CF complication. The Areas of Encouragement will be updated on a biennial basis during Guidance, Action, Projection (GAP) Meetings and will be informed by GAP meeting attendees, community surveys, CF Foundation workshop recommendations, and other areas of focus identified by guidelines committees or Foundation/TDN research working groups.  The 2023 Areas of Encouragement can be found with the Policies and Guidelines available in the download box on the right. To learn more about the research priorities of the CF Foundation, read the GAP Meeting executive summary.

Applicants to the funding opportunities reviewed by the Clinical Research Committee are highly encouraged, but not required, to submit research proposals that address one or more Areas of Encouragement.
