Grant Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to promote the development of an interdisciplinary workforce for conducting bioengineering research to develop innovative technologies for treatment of type 1 diabetes including creating integrated long term glucose regulated insulin delivery systems (artificial pancreas), beta cell or islet encapsulation for beta cell replacement therapy, and/or beta cell and autoimmunity imaging methods. This FOA will support institutional training and education programs in type 1 diabetes research for postdoctoral level researchers with backgrounds in bioengineering and/or computational sciences.
