The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is offering K12 grants to establish institutional career development programs in diabetes research for behavioral scientists. This grant aims to foster a diverse and highly trained workforce of behavioral scientists, preparing them for leadership roles in the nation’s type 1 diabetes research efforts. Eligible institutions will select postdoctoral behavioral scientists (Scholars) to undertake behavioral research careers in type 1 diabetes. A core component of the program is multidisciplinary training, involving mentorship and supervision from both a diabetologist and a behavioral scientist. This approach maximizes training relevance and encourages comprehensive research into type 1 diabetes.
