Those applicants not selected for interview will be advised that their applications have been declined. Following this initial screening, the Research Advisory Board will review reports on all interviewed candidates and will make recommendations to the JDRF Board of Directors, which will notify all successful applicants. Terms of Award Awardees will be required to attend an annual JDRF two-day meeting to present results of their work in the past year. Awardees will be reviewed once each year by a special review committee selected by JDRF and the fellow's mentor. Awardees are required to provide a progress report at the end of each funding year.
Awards are for three years, assuming satisfactory progress.
To apply for the transition year, awardees must provide to JDRF in the final year of the fellowship a letter of institutional commitment and faculty appointment, along with a satisfactory progress report and abbreviated research plan for the transitional year. Salary request must be consistent with the established salary structure of the applicant's institution, and equipment in years other than the first must be strongly justified.
