The charity is the major funder of research into CF in the UK, currently committing around £7m a year to a broad range of medical and scientific research aimed at understanding, treating and ultimately curing Cystic Fibrosis. Along with a major programme of gene therapy research, we have an annual grant round and several other research initiatives.
