New York Regional Center for Diabetes Translation Research Pilot and Feasibility program

The New York Regional Center for Diabetes Translation Research (CDTR) announces the availability of Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) awards for new projects that address a diabetes-related translational research question. Translational projects related to diabetes prevention or control are eligible if they are use methodologies such as: community-based participatory research, implementation or dissemination science, natural experiment methods, as well as quantitative or qualitative methods to assess novel interventions and/or technologies to improve diabetes prevention or diabetes care and outcomes at the individual, group or population level. The CDTR website http://www.newyorkregionalcdtr.org provides information about resources and consultation services to support diabetes-related translational research. The P&F funds are intended to enable CDTR member investigators to generate preliminary data for seeking extramural funding of their project. P&F funds are not intended to support or supplement ongoing diabetes research programs. Recipients must hold the rank of Assistant Professor or higher at the time of the award.
