Novel Studies in Diabetes & Obesity to Eliminate Disparities:
Team Science Across the Translational Continuum
 
The Center for Diabetes Translation Research, in collaboration with multiple Washington University research centers, is soliciting applications for a special funding opportunity

The major objective of this rapid funding mechanism is to stimulate transdisciplinary team research to advance novel approaches in the prevention and treatment of diabetes/obesity with the goal of eliminating disparities. Eligible teams must represent two different stages of the translation continuum. 
Awards will provide up to $60,000 direct costs, per year, for one or two years. Full applications are due by 5:00 pm (CT) on April 20, 2020. Learn more

We strongly encourage potential applicants to seek feedback on their ideas and attend an information session on March 23, 11:00 am-1:00 pm (CT).

Recent Grant Awards
Drs. Haire-Joshu and Brownson receive R25 award

Congratulations to Drs. Debra Haire-Joshu, CDTR Director, and Ross Brownson, CDTR Associate Director, who were awarded an R25 by the National Institutes of Health Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences (OBSSR) and Office of Disease Prevention (ODP). The innovative mentored training program, dubbed the Institute for Implementation Science Scholars (IS-2), will be administered by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).

IS-2 is designed for early- to mid-career researchers interested in applying dissemination and implementation research to proven behavioral and social science research to eliminate chronic disease disparities. Scholars will be enrolled for 2 years and attend an annual 5-day summer course followed by ongoing mentorship with IS-2 faculty.

 
Dr. Melissa Lewis receives K01 award

Congratulations to Dr. Melissa Lewis, who was recently awarded a K01 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for her project: "Adaptation and implementation of a Cherokee-based participatory research project to reduce CVD risk." 

The community-based participatory research project is centered in Tahlequah, Oklahoma with the Cherokee Nation and built on a three-year research relationship between the tribe and Dr. Lewis. The goal of the proposed project is to advance the science of community-partnered generation of culturally specific health interventions by promoting the power of cultural learning and cultural revitalization. 

Dr. Lewis is a former CDTR Pilot & Feasibility program awardee for her project "Creation of Indigenous Health Toolkit.”
