Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF): Studies Relevant to the Prevention of Human Type 1 Diabetes - Expression of Interest (EOI)

EOI's are sought from investigators interested in pursuing studies using existing study cohorts aimed at: 1) Understanding the immunopathogenesis/natural history of human T1D in the at-risk or pre-diabetic setting; 2) Mechanism driven secondary prevention trials, and ; 3) Discovery and/or validation of biomarkers that represent early events in the disease as well as those that may serve as surrogate read-outs or endpoints for efficacy of specific interventions. This initiative encourages collaborations between clinicians and basic scientists and applications with promising assays or novel expertise that could accelerate T1D prevention efforts. Applications may be made to 1 of 3 opportunities:

* Innovative Grants: up to $110,000 (including 10% indirect costs) for one year only.

* Strategic Research Agreements (SRAs): up to $165,000/yr (including 10% indirect costs) for up to two years. SRAs require quarterly milestones, reporting against those milestones and will receive milestone-based payments.

* Clinical grants for pilot trials: up to $500,000 total costs (including 10% indirect costs) for a maximum of 3 years.
