The Diabetes Research and Training Center is an NIH-funded program that supports research and training activities related to diabetes. The center, one of six across the country, supports four multi-user core laboratories and offers funds for research grants called Pilot and Feasibility Studies. Research topics cover many aspects of basic and clinical biomedical research, of educational development and testing, and of psychosocial investigation. The usual deadline for Pilot and Feasibility Study applications is November 15, with funding to begin January 1.
New applications compete with currently funded awards each cycle.
