The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is offering the NIDDK Catalyst Award to support individual scientists proposing pioneering and transformational studies. This grant is designed for research addressing major scientific challenges within topic areas of interest to NIDDK’s Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, and its Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition. Applications should focus on producing an unusually high impact on diseases and conditions central to these divisions’ mission. To be considered responsive, proposed research must reflect genuinely new and novel scientific directions that are distinct from concepts and approaches currently pursued by the investigator or elsewhere, thereby complementing NIDDK’s traditional grant programs.

| Description: | The NIDDK Catalyst Award is designed to complement NIDDK’s traditional, investigator-initiated grant programs by supporting individual scientists who propose pioneering and transformational studies in topic areas of interest to NIDDK’s Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, and to NIDDK’s Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition. Applications should be focused on major scientific challenges, and have the potential to produce an unusually high impact on diseases and conditions that are central to the mission of these two divisions within NIDDK. To be considered responsive to this initiative, the proposed research should reflect new and novel scientific directions that are distinct from concepts and approaches being pursued in the investigators research program or elsewhere. |
