Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute

Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute (CFRI) is a 501(C)(3) organization founded in 1975 that funds cystic fibrosis (CF) research and offers education, advocacy and psychosocial support programs and services to those with CF, as well as their families and caregivers.

Cystic fibrosis impacts people of all races and ethnicities. As an organization, we hold the principles of equity, diversity, justice, and inclusion at the forefront in all that we do. We are mission-driven and determined to advance research in pursuit of a cure, while providing meaningful programs to our national – and international – CF community.

While only 40,000 people in the United States have been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, it is our belief that many more people remain misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. Funding innovative CF research, raising awareness of the disease, creating resources to address emerging needs, and maintaining public focus on the need for increased research funding and access to care remain key goals of our strategic plan.

CFRI seeks to improve and enhance the lives of those with CF, now and into the future. CFRI’s accomplishments are only possible thanks to the support of our community, which is passionately committed to the search for a cure. Please visit https://cfri.org
