Potential areas of interest include but are not limited to the following list.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Delivery of Nucleotide-based therapies<\/b>\u2014Nucleotide-based therapies offer transformative potential for CFTR correction. Recent breakthroughs in inhalation-optimized encapsulation techniques, respirable carrier particles, and chemically modified nanoparticles have created unprecedented opportunities for genetic therapy delivery. Novel formulations for systemic and inhalation delivery will be considered within the scope of this RFP.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Novel Inhaled Formulations for Staphylococcus aureus and CF Pathogens<\/b>\u2014<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens significantly impact outcomes in people with CF, driving urgent need for innovative inhaled antimicrobial formulations and delivery systems. Priority targets include MRSA, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), and other high-burden CF pathogens.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Understanding Immunogenicity in CF Nucleotide-Based Therapies<\/b>\u2014Nucleotide-based therapies for CF encounter significant obstacles from immune recognition and safety issues that can substantially reduce treatment effectiveness. The distinctive CF lung microenvironment amplifies these challenges, highlighting the critical need for insights to advance research on safe, effective, and repeatable gene therapy delivery systems. Our goal is to support research that overcomes current barriers to successful gene therapy administration, enabling patients to receive multiple treatments safely and effectively over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Support is available for $100,000 per year (plus 10% for indirect costs). Typically, funding will last for two years. Continuation of funding is contingent on progress, which is reported every six months.
