Through gifts from individuals, corporations, and organizations, the DRTP provides annual research awards to new investigators, publishes a newsletter and sponsors an annual public forum featuring UW diabetes researchers. Purpose Proposals are being solicited for two types of pilot projects that can be completed in 1-2 years. This project must have at least two co-investigators, one from a clinical science department and one from a basic science department. The goal is to apply innovative technologies to diabetes and collaboration between scientists currently working on type 1 diabetes or its complications, and scientists not currently working in diabetes but with a special skill or technology that can enhance diabetes research. Eligibility All U.W. Faculty.
Equipment is permissible if justified.
Funding will start October 1, 2001. Applications are due at the DERC office no later than June 7, 2001. This Fellowship pays tribute to Dick and Julia McAbee for their outstanding support and leadership in the fight against diabetes. Its purpose is to train promising post doctoral fellows in areas important to diabetes research. Eligibility Graduates with M.D. or Ph.D. degrees with appropriate faculty sponsors.
