Synopsis
The purpose of the Diabetes Career Development Program (DCDP) is to support the career development of doctoral-level clinicians committed to a career in diabetes research. The program is intended to remedy the dearth of pediatric endocrinologists, physicians, and doctoral-level clinicians from other specialties conducting innovative research into the causes and consequences of type 1 diabetes. DCDP will be a single national program, implemented by one or more PD/PIs, together with an advisory committee composed of basic and clinical investigators who have a strong record of funded research and successful training of physician-scientists. Although there will be one national administrative center awardee, scholars are expected to be appointed and supported at their home institutions around the country. The program will also support the career development of physicians whose research focuses on innovative projects in type 2 or other forms of diabetes, as co-funding permits.
This NOFO is associated with the Special Diabetes Program (https://www.niddk.nih.gov/about-niddk/research-areas/diabetes/type-1-diabetes-special-statutory-funding-program/about-special-diabetes-program) which funds research on the prevention, treatment, and cure of type 1 diabetes and its complications, including unique, innovative, and collaborative research consortia and clinical trials networks.
