Topic: Diabetes.
Destination: JDRF is a global funding agency with a substantial proportion of its grants awarded outside the United States. They encourage all qualified researchers interested in addressing the scientific and clinical challenges and gaps to cure type 1 diabetes and its complications to apply for funding. Decisions on funding are based on the quality, mission relevance, and priority of the proposed research. JDRF encourages submission of innovative, high-risk/high-reward, field-changing research proposals to accelerate its mission. Four awards are available:
• Postdoctoral Fellowships: Designed to attract qualified, promising scientists entering their professional career in the T1D research field; intended for those in a relatively early state in their career.
• Advanced Postdoctoral Fellowships: Designed to attract qualified, promising scientists to receive full time research training and to assist these promising individuals in transitioning from a fellowship to an independent (faculty-level) position.
• Career Development Awards: Designed to attract qualified and promising scientists early in their faculty careers and to give them the opportunity to establish themselves in areas that reflect the JDRF research emphasis areas.
• Early-Career Patient-Oriented Diabetes Research Awards: Designed to provide crucial support to investigators who plan to pursue a career in diabetes-related clinical investigation. Awards are made in the later stages of training and include the ability for recipients to transition to independent faculty or research appointments.
Budget: $57,984-150,000, depending on the award mechanism
Duration: 3-5 years.
