Description:
The American Diabetes Association, with support from Eli Lilly and Company, is inviting applications for original and innovative translational and clinical research proposals focused on improving the evidence base and understanding of the goals, barriers, and effects of treatments and interventions (beneficial and adverse) in older adults with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The aim of the initiative is to further identify the safest and most effective means of diabetes treatment for this population.

Translational and clinical research projects will receive a maximum of $550,000 over three years (no more than $200,000 per year in any one year, including indirect costs).

To be eligible, applicants must hold a Ph.D., M.D., Pharm.D., D.P.M., or equivalent health- or science-related degree. In addition, applicants must hold full-time faculty positions or the equivalent at university-affiliated institutions or other nonprofit research and clinical institutions within the United States or one of its territories.
