The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health solicits grant applications from institutions/organizations for Core Centers. The Cystic Fibrosis Research and Translation Core Center Program is designed to support both basic and clinical research on Cystic Fibrosis (CF).  Core Centers provide shared resources to support research to develop and test new therapies for CF and foster collaborations among institutions with a strong existing research base in CF.  The Center will also support pilot and feasibility studies to develop and test new approaches to therapy.
