Pilot and Feasibility Awards

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

About the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care.

To achieve this mission, various types of grants and awards are offered to support meritorious research in CF.

Program and Award Overview

Pilot and Feasibility Awards are intended to support projects that will develop and test new hypotheses and/or new methods (or those being applied to the problems of cystic fibrosis for the first time), and to support promising new investigators as they establish themselves in research areas relevant to cystic fibrosis. The intent of these awards is to enable investigators to collect sufficient data to compete successfully for support from the NIH or other funding agencies. Proposals should focus on projects that will improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis or development of novel treatment approaches on topics such as defects in airway defense, microbial adaption to the CF lung, mucociliary clearance and airway hydration, and extrapulmonary manifestations of the disease. Applicants seeking to submit proposals focused on topics such as the restoration of CFTR protein function or approaches to fix/replace the defective CFTR gene should apply through the Path to a Cure Research Pilot and Feasibility Award Program. Applications for continued funding of the same project, or for long-term support of an investigator, will not be considered.

Pilot and Feasibility Award applications must focus on basic science research. Proposals that include methodologies requiring human subjects or sampling of materials from human subjects will be considered under this mechanism only if the sampling method constitutes minimal patient risk (e.g., venipuncture, nasal brushings) and the sample will be utilized in basic or laboratory research. Projects using previously obtained human samples or samples collected as part of routine clinical care may be allowed; however, this should be specified clearly in the application. All other projects involving human subjects, including interventional studies, may not be reviewed nor funded through this award mechanism and should instead submit their proposals under the Clinical Pilot and Feasibility Award mechanism. Please refer to that program’s Policies and Guidelines on the CFF website (www.cff.org).

Eligibility Requirements

U.S. residents and applicants from outside the U.S. are welcome to apply.
International applicants and institutions are required to submit additional information in accordance with USA Patriot Act and the U.S. Department of Treasury Anti-Terrorist Financing Guidelines (see section X.10.L below).
Applicants must be independent investigators.
Candidates who are clinical fellows should apply to the CFF Clinical Fellowship program for the appropriate year.
Candidates who are postdoctoral fellows should apply to the CFF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship program.
Multiple CFF Pilot and Feasibility Awards held by a single investigator will not be permitted for this program when the total combined funding exceeds $56,000 per year. In such cases, the most recent application submitted will be considered administratively ineligible. However, investigators may hold one Pilot and Feasibility Award through this mechanism as well as a Path to a Cure Pilot and Feasibility Award simultaneously.
