Funding Opportunities
Pilot and Feasibility Program
We are no longer accepting applications for the 2024-2025 funding cycle.
Each year the Center's Pilot and Feasibility Program fosters and supports two year-long pilot projects in diabetes translational research led by promising early stage investigators. We expect to give out two 12-month awards awards each year, with a maximum of $40,000 awarded to each.
If you are interested in applying in the coming year, please see our most recent Request for Proposals (RFP) for eligibility information and detailed application instructions. An updated RFP for the next application cycle will be issued in January/February 2025.
