Who can apply

• Bona fide students enrolled in a bachelor's, master's or doctoral programme (PhD, MD or MD/PhD) who want additional cystic fibrosis research training. Every applicant must work with an on-site faculty mentor on a CF-related research project. The Foundation's programme page states no citizenship requirement. It does not state where the host institution must be, and the one Cystic Fibrosis Foundation page that does address this, the Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Award page on the same site, limits support to 'U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and non-residents working in U.S.-based laboratories'. Confirm with the Grants and Contracts Management and Administration office before applying from a lab outside the United States.
