NIHR Themed Call in cystic fibrosis
At the beginning of October, the NIHR launched a Themed Call for Cystic Fibrosis, inviting cystic fibrosis researchers and clinicians to submit funding applications to six of NIHR’s Programmes.
The NIHR have advised the CF research community to come together to produce a small quantity of collaborative, high quality applications to the CF call. To facilitate this, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust has established an Application Development Group, offering to support the development of high quality applications.
The following events may be of interested to researchers working in the field of cystic fibrosis.
If you are a Trust-funded researcher, please let us know if you are presenting your research at a conference, by contacting us on researchimpact@cysticfibrosis.org.uk .
