Description
This award provides funding for early-career researchers (PhD students, postdoctoral and clinical fellows, and junior faculty) working on cystic fibrosis (CF) projects to participate in off-site, hands-on training opportunities. The goal is to help researchers acquire new research skills and techniques that are essential to their projects but are not available at their home institutions. The program aims to foster technology and expertise transfer, encourage collaboration, and enhance research capacity within the CF research community. Funding is not available for attendance at scientific conferences.
