Eligibility
Applicants must be independent researchers who hold a full-time academic or research appointment relevant to CF at a Canadian university or hospital.

Such applications must include a statement from the applicant addressing the issue of salary support during the term of the grant, and the availability of laboratory space; and letters from the Departmental Chair and Dean of Faculty, clarifying the nature and extent of the institutional commitment to the applicant. This same eligibility criterion regarding a faculty appointment applies to any named co-investigator. There are no limits on the number of co-investigators or collaborators that can be listed. The investigators must have clearly defined roles which are justified. The institution receiving funds indicates where the ultimate responsibility for the grant lies. Generally, the organization funds research which is carried out in Canada, and the principal investigator must be based at a Canadian institution. While the organization will fund a collaboration from outside of Canada, funds must be directed through a Canadian institution and Canadian investigators intending to collaborate with individuals from outside of Canada should contact the organization
