Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Travel Award Supplement

Who can apply: PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows and junior faculty who are active research scientists on a cystic fibrosis-related project, which may be a thesis or dissertation project, a funded fellowship or a research grant, and who have at least one year of research experience at PhD-student level or above…. What is funded: Up to USD 3,000 for travel only, so that a PhD student or postdoctoral fellow can spend time in another laboratory or on a training course learning a technique their own institution cannot teach them. Funds go to the applicant’s employing institution. Conference attendance does not qualify: the Foundation states… Deadline: 5 p.m. ET on 16 November 2026. Round: 2026 cycle, governed by the Foundation’s 2026 Policies and Guidelines, which the Foundation says are updated annually. The summary table on the Academic Funding Opportunities page still describes this award’s deadline as ‘Rolling’; the programme page prints the dated cut-off and is the one to work to.

Who can apply

• PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows and junior faculty who are active research scientists on a cystic fibrosis-related project, which may be a thesis or dissertation project, a funded fellowship or a research grant, and who have at least one year of research experience at PhD-student level or above. Applications for attending or taking part in scientific conferences are explicitly not eligible. The programme page states no citizenship requirement, and the Foundation's 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', so check with the Grants and Contracts Management and Administration office before applying from a lab outside the United States.
