We attract and retain brilliant scientists in diabetes. Our three areas of focus\u2014awarding research grants, providing access to scientific and career mentoring from leading diabetes researchers, and creating a diabetes think tank\u2014are each key components of a unique formula to cultivate the next generation of leaders, whose discoveries will stop diabetes and all of its burdens once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To accelerate the research needed to stop this deadly disease, the American Diabetes Association\u2019s bold transformational initiative, Pathway to Stop Diabetes, is inspiring a new generation of diabetes researchers. Pathway provides crucial support to individuals focusing on innovative ideas and transformational approaches that will lead to ground-breaking discoveries in diabetes prevention, management and cures.\u00a0We are building a human pathway to tackle the toughest questions in diabetes by driving research innovations through 1:1 mentorship and the creation of a brain trust in diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Initiator Award (INI): <\/strong>This two-phased award is designed to support the transition of scientists from mentored training to independent research faculty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accelerator Award (ACE):<\/strong> This award is designed to support exceptional, independent early-career researchers who have distinguished themselves as promising investigators and are in the beginning stages of establishing successful, sustainable diabetes research programs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility<\/p>\n<p><strong>Initiator Award (INI): <\/strong>Eligible applicants must currently be in research training positions (post-doctoral fellow, research fellowship) and have no more than seven years of research training following terminal doctoral degree.
