Grants
The Trustees of the Australian Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust would like to announce the funded projects for 2009.
Thank you to all investigators who submitted applications this year, your ongoing commitment to improving medical treatments and finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis is appreciated. The projects listed ranked highest in our lengthy, peer reviewed assessment process and accordingly have been rewarded with funding. Many other projects were also considered worthwhile but as funds are limited our ranking process is vital to ACFRT.
Thank you to the ACFRT Advisory Committee and Co-ordinator for their ongoing support, patience and belief in what we ACFRT is committed to. Thanks also must go to the army of clinicians and scientists to give us their valuable time and expertise as reviewers.
We look for forward to the results of the 2009 funded projects and to work towards 2010.

Hi My name is Rebekah Davison. I am nine, and I have CF. We all know that we need to do good exercise to keep our lungs healthy. My favourite exercise is Irish dancing. I started doing Irish dancing when I was 5, at the Carroll School of Irish Dance. I think it is great fun. We do lots of skipping and jumping, and it makes me work really hard.
