Clinical Fellowship Awards - Education and Training Grant

The Clinical Fellowship Awards by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation aim to foster specialized training for early-career professionals in cystic fibrosis (CF) research and patient care. Open to residents and early-stage fellows, these awards provide up to $75,000 annually for salary and benefits, alongside travel support to attend the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference. This initiative encourages the development of qualified candidates committed to CF care, regardless of their prior exposure to the field.

The intent of this program is to encourage specialized training in the early career development stage, provide exposure to CF research and patient care, and prepare well-qualified candidates for careers related to CF. Applications are welcome from residents and early stage fellows who have limited experience or exposure to CF, but are interested in learning more and gaining more exposure over the first few years of fellowship; or from later stage fellows who have a demonstrated commitment to CF care, but do not intend to pursue an academic research career.
Applications can be submitted for either one fellowship year or two fellowship years. The maximum award amount is $75,000 per year. This includes $73,000 for salary and benefits and $2,000 for travel and/or registration fees to attend the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC). Indirect costs are not allowed.
