Description
Cystic Fibrosis Basic Science research grants support innovative basic science research projects that (i) improve our understanding of cystic fibrosis and/or (ii) have a significant impact on the concepts, methods, treatments, and/or technologies applicable to cystic fibrosis.
Grant applications submitted to the Basic Science Research Grant stream must focus on basic science research, including molecular, cellular, and animal studies aimed at better understanding the pathology of cystic fibrosis and its complications or the preclinical development of treatments for cystic fibrosis and its complications. Proposals requiring human participants or sampling of materials from human participants will be considered under the Basic Science stream only if the sampling method presents minimal patient risk (e.g. venipuncture, nasal brushings) and the sample will be used in basic or laboratory research. Projects using human samples that were collected previously, or collected as part of routine clinical care, may be considered under either the Basic Science or Clinical Research streams. All other proposals involving human participants, including interventional, observational, or epidemiological studies, will not be considered in this stream and should instead be submitted to the Clinical Research Grant program. For further information on Clinical Research grants, please refer to the Clinical Research Grants section.
