The Washington University Diabetes Research Center (DRC) anticipates funding new Pilot & Feasibility Awards through an ongoing collaborative program with the University of Kentucky starting 12/1/21. The goal of this program is to develop preliminary data leading to the submission of new applications for independent (NIH, JDRF, or ADA) research grants. This funding opportunity is available to:

• New faculty members involved in diabetes-related research who have not yet obtained independent funding.
• Established investigators not involved in diabetes-related research who propose feasibility studies related to diabetes.
• Established investigators involved in diabetes-related research who propose feasibility studies clearly not related to previously supported research.

Please see the RFA for additional guidelines.  The contact Principal Investigator of this program at University of Kentucky is Dr. Philip Kern.  For questions, please contact Joel Thompson (joel.thompson@uky.edu).
