• Resumen

  • The program is guided by two national volunteer committees: the Research Policy Committee, which advises on research strategy, portfolio management, and special programs, and the Research Grant Review Committee, a panel of independent, volunteer scientific and medical experts in a broad array of disciplines who review and prioritize all applications for the ADA research support. Since the inception of the research grant program, the ADA has invested more than $600 million in diabetes research, funding nearly 4,000 individual projects. [...]perhaps most importantly, 85% of the investigators received additional funding for their research in the 5 years subsequent to their award.
