The NIDDK is especially interested in attracting students and postdoctoral fellows from scientific disciplines underrepresented in disease-oriented biomedical research such as engineering, informatics, computer science, and computational sciences, to encourage them to apply their expertise to research relevant to diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases, digestive and liver diseases, nutrition, obesity research and prevention, and kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases. Mechanism of Support: This FOA will use the NIH Research Education (R25) grant mechanism.
