The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Clinical Fellowship Awards – Research support physicians pursuing fellowship training in subspecialties related to cystic fibrosis (CF) care. Fellows at any stage may apply when prepared to propose a well-formed, hypothesis-driven, CF-relevant research project. The award combines fellowship development with research support and replaces the Foundation’s Third Year and beyond Clinical Fellowships.
Part of the Physician Training & Career Development Programs, this mechanism aims to attract, develop, and retain clinicians and investigators who can meet the CF community’s evolving healthcare and research needs. Selection emphasizes applicants’ research potential, scientific merit, the training environment, and long-term commitment to CF research or clinical care in an academic setting. Proposed research must serve the Foundation’s mission and the health and well-being of people with CF.
