The CDMD's Pilot & Feasibility Grant program is structured to encourage research innovation across several specific domains within diabetes and metabolic diseases research. It sets out to achieve these objectives through three distinct grant mechanisms: Parent P&F Grants focusing on fundamental biomedical, clinical, and translational research questions in diabetes/obesity/metabolic syndrome, and related complications; Alzheimer’s-Focused P&F Grants targeting research on the interplay between diabetes/metabolic diseases and Alzheimer's disease along with its related dementias; and Physician-Scientist P&F Grants aimed at supporting emerging physician-scientists in patient-oriented clinical research projects related to diabetes and obesity. The grant program is particularly interested in supporting new investigators who are early in their research careers and have shown potential but have not yet secured significant NIH research support. Funding provided can go up to $50,000 for one year, covering necessary travel, graduate student stipends, and publication fees.
