Job Summary:
The Program Manager will coordinate and manage projects related to the PFF Registry Program, a disease registry composed of patients, families, and caregivers impacted by pulmonary fibrosis.
The PFF Registry program currently comprises two distinct databases that track the care of patients with broadly defined interstitial lung diseases.

These data are being used by researchers to answer important questions on PF, including improving diagnosis and treatment. The PFF Community Registry began in 2022 and offers an opportunity for patients living with PF, lung transplant patients who have had PF, as well as their caregivers, and family members, to self-report information to help us move toward improved outcomes.

About the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation
At the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a form of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Pulmonary fibrosis is a process that causes lung scarring, in which fibrotic tissue blocks the movement of oxygen from inside the tiny air sacs in the lungs into the bloodstream. Low oxygen levels, and the stiff scar tissue itself, can cause people with pulmonary fibrosis to feel short of breath, particularly when walking and exercising. Over 250,000 Americans are living with PF today. Approximately 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year and as many as 40,000 Americans die from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) each year.
As the largest organization committed to raising awareness and providing support, our mission is to accelerate the development of new treatments and ultimately a cure for pulmonary fibrosis. Until this goal is achieved, the PFF is committed to advancing improved care of patients with PF and providing unequaled support and education resources for patients, caregivers, family members, and healthcare providers.
