Other requirements

All eligible investigators must have faculty appointments, be independent investigators and have the education, skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research.
Work supported by these funds is expected to lead to submissions of major extramural grants (R01/equivalent NIH, major foundation awards, DOD, etc.)National and international collaborations are allowed.

Not eligible: Budget requests may not include indirect costs, F&A, or PI salaries.

Overview

The Center for Diabetes & Metabolic Diseases Pilot & Feasibility Grant aims to support innovative diabetes research by established investigators with no prior work in the field. The program offers funding of up to $50,000 for one year, encouraging applications from faculty at various Indiana institutions. This initiative seeks to promote interdisciplinary collaborations and aims to advance research that leads to major extramural grant submissions, fostering new insights into diabetes and metabolic diseases.

Center for Diabetes & Metabolic Diseases Pilot & Feasibility Grant
A primary research-related activity of the Center for Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases (CDMD)’s Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) program is to foster the development of new diabetes-related investigators and provide seed-support for innovative, high-risk projects.
The CDMD P&F program has three different grant mechanisms:
Parent P&F Grants: This mechanism invites applications directed towards basic biomedical, clinical, and/or translational research questions on cellular and molecular metabolism related to diabetes/obesity/metabolic syndrome, clinical and outcomes research in diabetes and obesity, complications of diabetes and obesity, islet function and survival, and nutrition and physiology of diabetes and obesity.
Alzheimer’s-Focused P&F Grants: This mechanism invites applications focused on diabetes and metabolic disease aspects of Alzheimer’s disease and its related dementias (AD/ADRD)–frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, vascular cognitive impairment with dementia, and multiple etiology dementias.
Physician-Scientist P&F Grants: This mechanism invites applications from exceptional emerging physician-scientists holding an MD (or equivalent) or MD/PhD with a patient-oriented diabetes and/or obesity-related clinical research project, who are early in their clinical research careers and show great promise to develop into future independent investigators.
Established investigators with no previous work in diabetes who wish to apply their expertise to a problem in diabetes research
Awards are up to $50,000 for one year
Travel budget requested must be limited to those expenses necessary to carry out the specific aims of the proposed project.Graduate student stipends (only) are an allowable expense.
Publication fees are deemed an allowable expense.
