Education and Conference Grant

The purpose of the Cystic Fibrosis Ireland (CFI) Education and Conference Grant is to provide financial assistance to CF health care professionals, researchers and patient representatives to attend and participate in Cystic Fibrosis specific conferences, meetings and training courses.

Priority will be given to the following:

  • CFI funded researchers who are presenting work (either oral or poster), but whose grant does not include the cost of attendance at a relevant conference
  • Those who are speaking or moderating at a specialist conference or meeting held at a conference, but which no speakers fees are given
  • Allied health professionals, nurses, clinicians and patient representatitves who want to attend to increase their knowledge of cystic fibrosis and network in the CF Community

Funding Available
In order to provide support to as many people as possible, CFI will only provide funding to cover the cost of registration for the event.
