Description:

The DiaComp is an interdisciplinary consortium designed to use a candidate gene (or ?reverse genetics?) approach to develop new animal models that closely mimic the human complications of diabetes for the purpose of studying disease pathogenesis, prevention and treatment. The consortium consists of thirteen ?pathobiology sites? that study complications such as diabetic nephropathy, uropathy, neuropathy, cardiomyopathy and vascular disease. The DiaComp P&F Program solicits proposals that advance the mission of the DiaComp and welcomes applications that are either general in nature or that target specific areas of interest.

This program solicits and funds small Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) projects in high impact areas of diabetic complications research. Specifically, this program aims to support discovery (hypothesis generating) and innovative (high risk/high reward) research that will advance our understanding of diabetic complications and is increasingly difficult to support through standard NIH mechanisms. Basic, translational and clinical research proposals are encouraged. When appropriate, the use of human samples is strongly encouraged. Awards are expected to prepare the applicant(s) to submit a future investigator- initiated project (e.g. NIH R01). Lower priority will be given to applicants who have received DiaComp support in the past three years.

Application Details:

Applicants may request up to $60,000 (direct + indirect costs) Total Costs for one year or well justified requests for support of up to $100,000. A narrative justification should be provided only for any major equipment (cost greater than $5,000) deemed to be necessary for the proposed project. The number of awards will depend upon the number, quality, duration, and cost of the applications received.

Please see sponsor's website for target areas and full submission details. All applications must be submitted via the DiaComp website (PDF format only please).

NIH IDC RATE OF 8% TO BE INCLUDED IN BUDGET

NOTE: All Letters of Intent and Full Applications must be processed through Research Development & Services for institutional approval. Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. A ROLA Proposal (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean electronic approvals) is required for each submission.
