The UAB CF Research Center places high value on its Enrichment Program, which supports training in CF-related disciplines under the direction of established scientists and coordinates activities to promote scientific discussions and exchange of ideas. The current goals of the Program are to:
- Enhance partnerships with other existing training programs at UAB, thereby introducing trainees and junior faculty to CF-related research and encourage their interest and development in this field
- Invite prominent speakers and organize workshops and scientific retreats to boost training and success of those who are already conducting CF-related research, both in basic and translational science field
- Establish a CF Research Day to foster interactions between junior and senior CF investigators and further increase the presence of the CF Center in the UAB research community
- Disseminate knowledge to the wider community by web postings and seminars concentrating on new developments in CF care
