Grant Description
Grants generally starting at $10,000 to USA, Canada, and International investigators at nonprofit academic, medical, or research institutions who are engaged in innovative and promising research projects that seek to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. Investigators in traditional type 1 diabetes research, as well as investigators currently working on other autoimmune diseases are encouraged to apply, provided that the proposed project focuses directly on type 1 diabetes and supports the mission of the Foundation.
The Foundation will accept novel projects that directly accelerate a cure for type 1 diabetes or inform the understanding of the disease by a related or complementary mechanism of action.
The Foundation funds a range of proposals, including basic science, fellowships and clinical trials.
