Via www.rdfunding.org.uk. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF) are offering career development awards to attract qualified and promising scientists early in their faculty careers and to give them the opportunity to establish themselves in areas that reflects the JDRF research emphasis areas.

JDRF fosters the development and productivity of the best and the brightest established independent researchers who will bridge the gap between the bench and bedside. In the five-year term of the award, awardees will focus their research efforts on a subject directly related to JDRF mission goals and research priorities, and position themselves to work at the leading edge of type 1 diabetes research. These awards are designed to assist exceptionally promising investigators. Although JDRF is especially interested in fostering careers in clinical investigation, career development awards may emphasise either basic or clinical topics.
