ADA Type 2 Diabetes in Youth Research Awards RFA

ADA is soliciting proposals to address key knowledge gaps in youth-onset T2D in order to better understand, prevent, treat, and ultimately induce remission for the rapidly increasing numbers of affected individuals. Applications that focus on disadvantaged lower socioeconomic level families where the burden of disease is greatest are strongly encouraged. Emphasis will be placed on clinical research and translation.
