News & Research

We fund peer-reviewed projects aimed at preventing, treating, and curing all types of diabetes. Our projects cover such areas as genetics, islet cell biology, immunology, diabetes education and behavioral research. Our core program offers investigator-initiated funding for basic and clinical science research awards. We also offer training awards to support scientists at various stages through their careers, from medical school through assistant professor. Additionally, we fund "donor-driven" targeted research grants with the help of generous supporters.
