Description:

JDRF announces a new award opportunity to support ground-breaking, high risk/high reward studies aimed at demonstrating the merit and feasibility of novel concepts and innovative approaches to accelerate beta cell regeneration research for type 1 diabetes. The overall objective of this one year award is to foster pioneering research to generate preliminary data that addresses gaps and challenges currently limiting research progress and that could provide the basis for potential future support by JDRF or by other funding entities.

This RFA is intended to provide a oneyear award to support studies aimed at investigating novel and compelling scientific hypotheses and approaches to address major bottlenecks or knowledge gaps, thereby accelerating JDRF?s human beta cell regeneration research goals. These proposed studies may initially have little or no preliminary data; the pilot study would allow ideas to be tested and may provide a basis for continued support through future JDRF awards or funding from other agencies.

Application Details: All applications must be completed using the templates provided on the proposalCENTRAL Web site (https://proposalcentral.altum.com/). Applicants must register as an applicant and submit their application in response to this RFA using JDRF?s on-line application system proposalCENTRAL (https://proposalcentral.altum.com/).INDIRECT COSTS OF 10% MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET
