The International Committee on Mental Health in Cystic Fibrosis, sponsored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS), developed recommendations for the prevention, screening, and treatment of depression and anxiety in individuals with cystic fibrosis and their caregivers. This 2018 award is designed to facilitate implementation of the depression and anxiety guideline recommendations by providing seed funding for a CF Mental Health Coordinator to programs that have not previously received this award.

The CF Mental Health Coordinator will be responsible for services that will include but not be limited to:

  1. Providing annual screening and follow-up
  2. Coordinating evidence-based treatment for depression and anxiety
  3. Developing and maintaining a referral network of community-based mental health practitioners
  4. Serving as an educator and liaison for mental health care in CF for the CF center, hospital or institution, community practitioners, and payers.

Funding of salary support and travel may be requested for up to $150,000 in direct costs over three years, depending on program size (plus 8 percent for indirect costs).
