After two years of relentless work advocating for access to new life-changing medicines, many Canadians with cystic fibrosis are living longer, have taken deeper breaths than ever before, and are encouraged and excited about their future.

This disease is still a ticking clock for us and others. There is still so much further we need to go.

Right now is a pivotal time for Canada’s CF community. We must go beyond just understanding the science of the disease to finding more impactful solutions that will advance care and treatment, and ease the burden of all who are living with CF.
Momentum is our research roadmap to do just that. It’s a five-year plan for thoughtful and impactful investment in research with the potential to unlock the next wave of improvements for Canadians with CF.
Right now is a pivotal time for Canada’s CF community. We must invest in research that both helps to understand the science of the disease while finding more impactful solutions that will advance care and treatment, and ease the burden of all who are living with CF.
Momentum is our research roadmap to do just that. It’s a three-year plan for thoughtful and impactful investment in research with the potential to unlock the next wave of improvements for Canadians with CF.
Momentum maximizes the potential of donor dollars by investing in research that will deliver the biggest change while partnering with like-minded organizations. We must harness all the tools at our disposal to ensure Canada has the research talent to continue delivering on its track record of impact.
Momentum is grounded in four strategic approaches:
