Action For Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF) is a UK-based disease-specific funder focused on accelerating research that can stop pulmonary fibrosis and improve life for people living with the condition. Its grants are aimed primarily at scientists and trainees working on pulmonary fibrosis biology, earlier diagnosis, treatment development, and quality of life, with a clear emphasis on building the research pipeline through fellowships, studentships, and conference support. APF appears to favor relatively small, targeted awards that help researchers generate pilot data, present findings, or launch early-career work rather than large-scale general operating support.
Small, program-specific research awards and fellowships; supports pilot projects, student placements, and conference travel, typically through UK-based opportunities and likely with defined research priorities rather than open-ended general grants.

Watch for APF’s specific funding calls and eligibility rules for each program; most support is UK-based and tied to pulmonary fibrosis research priorities. Applicants should align proposals tightly to APF themes, especially mechanistic research, early diagnosis, or treatment development, and early-career researchers should look closely at fellowship, studentship, and conference-award deadlines.
