Exploratory Grant Program in Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism (NIH)

The Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases invites applications for the exploratory/developmental (R21) grant mechanism in selected areas of opportunity within our mission. The intent of this initiative is to encourage researchers to apply novel technologies, develop new tools, biomarkers and model systems, and test innovative concepts of potential diagnostic and therapeutic relevance to diseases within our mission including diabetes and its complications, obesity, endocrine disorders including osteoporosis, and inborn errors of metabolism including cystic fibrosis. The R21 mechanism is intended to encourage exploratory research projects by providing support at the conceptual stages of these projects. Closing date: 01 October 2006.
