Applicants should note that only applications which have been completed in full will be taken into consideration. In some cases, individual questions may not be applicable for your project; please indicate this briefly in your answer to these questions. Applications which do not fulfil requirements will be marked "incomplete" and returned to the applicant for the purposes of correction without examination by experts.

Mukoviszidose e.V. provides funding exclusively for projects in the sector of cystic fibrosis which investigate the implementation of findings from basic CF-related research in clinical applications and vice-versa.The results of the projects should be applicable in routine CF-care in the long run. Therefore, the main steps to reach this goal must be sketched within the application (although not all of these work packages must be subject matter of the application).
