Description
This fellowship provides support for postdoctoral research training focused on basic research related to cystic fibrosis (CF). The program is designed to enable early-career scientists (MDs, PhDs, MD/PhDs) to develop expertise in CF research, collect data for future independent research, and transition toward faculty positions. Preference is given to recent graduates and those at the early stages of their research careers. Projects should address disease pathogenesis or novel treatment approaches and align with CF Foundation research priorities.
