Clinical Pilot and Feasibility Award

The Clinical Pilot and Feasibility Award is intended to support a project involving human subjects or samples that will develop and test new hypotheses and/or new methods in research areas relevant to cystic fibrosis. These awards are offered to support projects involving human subjects 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 preliminary data to determine the best strategies and methods for approaching a major question that ultimately will require assessment through a larger-scale research and/or multi-center, collaborative trial. Special consideration will be given to those projects that pursue new approaches, study under-researched topics, or investigate more creative avenues of research to address the problems of cystic fibrosis.
