Description
The purpose of the targeted research program is to fund research focused on the following two Cystic Fibrosis Canada priority areas and knowledge gaps within these areas:
- Screening, monitoring, and management of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) with the goal of reducing the burden of care. Areas of focus include:
- Development of more efficient and patient-friendly screening tools
- Development or adaptation of new, less invasive therapies to treat CFRD
- Gastrointestinal (GI) symptomatology
- Development of a validated tool to reliably quantify gastrointestinal pain and symptoms
- Address the etiology of gastrointestinal pain and symptoms, including the validation of biomarkers of gut health or gastrointestinal quality of life
Proposals in this program must have a high relevance to patients and the potential to impact patient care or health by the end of the two-year funding period. While investigators may apply for funding of the same research project to both the annual fall research competition and the targeted research call, they may ultimately receive funding through only one of these avenues.
Eligibility
Applicants must be independent researchers who hold a full-time academic or research appointment at a Canadian university or hospital. This same eligibility criterion regarding a faculty appointment applies to any named co-investigator.
Maximum Project Value
$100K/year
Indirect Costs
0%
Project Duration
Grants will be awarded for a two-year term. Funding for year two is contingent upon a successful review of a year-end report detailing progress on the year one milestones outlined in the proposal.

Information For Co-applicants
If you need to meet a deadline set by the lead institution for this opportunity, please ensure that you provide the Office of Research with at least five days in advance of the lead institution’s deadline to review the application, or your proposed component of the project.
