Grant Description: -Purpose. The Type 1 Diabetes Pathfinder Award was created in 2008 as part of the Strategic Plan for Type 1 Diabetes Research (http://www.T1Diabetes.nih.gov/plan). The goal is to support exceptional new investigators who propose creative new research approaches that have the potential to produce a major impact on important problems in biomedical and behavioral research relevant to type 1 diabetes and its complications. While R01 grants will continue to be the primary source of NIH support for new investigators, the Type 1 Diabetes Pathfinder Award is designed to support a small number of exceptionally creative new investigators whose research is focused on type 1 diabetes research. The research proposed need not be in a conventional biomedical or behavioral discipline but must be relevant to type 1 diabetes. -Mechanism of Support. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the DP2 grant mechanism -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Total funding available for this five-year program this year is $20 million for the five-year period. It is anticipated that at least 8 awards will be made.
