Cystic Fibrosis Canada (CFC)
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.
