American Diabetes Association Pathway to Stop Diabetes
The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) would like to announce the American Diabetes Association initiative, Pathway to Stop Diabetes. The Pathway to Stop Diabetes is a limited submission program, and as such the OVPR will be conducting an internal screening process.
Pathway will support creative scientists early in their diabetes research careers, or investigators who are established in other disciplines but who would like to expand their focus to diabetes research. With awards of $1.625 million over the course of up to seven years, the program will provide researchers the freedom, autonomy, time and focus needed to explore new ideas.
Pathway supports innovative basic, clinical, translational, epidemiological, behavioral, or health services research relevant to any diabetes type, diabetes-related disease state, or diabetes complication. The Association seeks exceptional candidates from a broad range of disciplines, including medicine, biology, chemistry, computing, physics, mathematics and engineering.
Limited Submission
