Grant Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to promote the development of an interdisciplinary workforce for conducting bioengineering research to develop innovative technologies for treatment of diabetes including creating integrated long term glucose regulated insulin delivery systems (artificial pancreas), beta cell or islet encapsulation for beta cell replacement therapy, wound healing or prevention for diabetic ulcers, better cellular models of relevant tissues for studying diabetes and its complications and/or beta cell and autoimmunity imaging methods. This FOA will support institutional training programs in diabetes research for pre and postdoctoral level researchers with backgrounds in bioengineering and/or computational sciences.
