CFF COVID-19 Town Hall: Impact on the CF Research Community


June 2, 2-3pm EST
See here for the full announcement.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the research you conduct, and we want to reassure you that we are committed to providing the necessary support and flexibility to ensure this important work continues.

Join us for a virtual forum to get updates on the issues facing CF investigators during the COVID-19 pandemic.  We will discuss key items of interest to the research community including:

  • How the pandemic has broadly impacted CF research (e.g. lab closures, workforce impacts)
  • The impact of the pandemic on research progress and how that affects CF Foundation progress reports and new grant applications
  • Opportunities for supplemental funding and re-budgeting
  • The impact of the pandemic on current and future research priorities of the CFF

Attendees are encouraged to submit questions to Ericka Carter (ecarter@cff.org) in advance of the Town Hall.  Questions may also be submitted live through the Q&A feature of the BlueJeans platform.  The Town Hall will be recorded for those who cannot attend live and will be posted on https://www.cff.org/Research/Researcher-Resources/Awards-and-Grants/.
