The UW Diabetes Endocrinology Research Center (DERC) invites applications for Pilot and Feasibility Research Awards to develop new research in the area of diabetes and related metabolic-endocrine disease. New and established investigators may apply for awards of up to $50,000 per year for 1 or 2 years.

Applications also are invited for the new Samuel and Althea Stroum Endowed Graduate Fellowship in Diabetes Research. One award of $20,000 is available for any full-time UW graduate student pursuing diabetes-related research in a Ph.D.-granting program (but not those in M.D., Pharm.D., D.D.S., and J.D. programs).

Letters of intent for both programs are due January 11 and should be submitted to Denis Baskin, derc@u.washington.edu. Full applications are due February 16, and funding begins July 1. Information and application details at DERC
