The Cystic Fibrosis Research Development Program (CF RDP) Pilot Projects are awarded through the Dartmouth Cystic Fibrosis Research Center. The goal of the research development program is to leverage diabetes expertise at NIDDK funded DRCs and CDTRs to investigate cystic fibrosis-related diabetes.
The Pilot and Feasibility studies will address important issues in the progression of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes treatment and disease, develop and test novel hypotheses and methodologies, and support promising new investigators as CF researchers.
