The AREST CF has received a number of grants and awards based on the quality of our research and the contribution our research makes to the improvement of health care in children with cystic fibrosis. The success of our research internationally can be measured by the numerous publications the AREST CF and the conferences our research has been presented at.
We have received funding for our research from a number of agencies and foundations including:
United States Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics
Australian Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust
Princess Margaret Hospital for Children
The University of Western Australia
National Health and Medical Research Council
Australian Respiratory Council
Royal Children's Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust

To promote the search we are conducting as part of AREST CF we present our findings at international and national conferences. This helps let other centres around the world the ground-breaking research we are conducting. Attendance to conferences allows us to pass on information to other centres so they can improve patients care for children with cystic fibrosis.
We have presented our research at the following conferences:
European Respiratory Society Conference
American Thoracic Society Conference
North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference
European Cystic Fibrosis Conference
Asian Pacific Society of Respirology Conference
Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand Conference
Australian National Cystic Fibrosis Conference
Our research findings have been published in peer reviewed journals and provide information on techniques used to detect early lung damage and help facilitate improved outcomes in children with cystic fibrosis. Members of the AREST CF have also contributed to guidelines for the care of patients with cystic fibrosis.
