The purpose of the American Diabetes Association-Merck Clinical/Translational Science Postdoctoral Fellowship Award is to support the training of clinical diabetes investigators in the area of clinical/translational research. The award will be given to an established and active clinical diabetes investigator (Mentor/PI) in diabetes research for the annual stipend support of a postdoctoral fellow to work closely with the mentor. The focus on outcomes research will help to further outcomes research as an important area and spur more to see it as a viable career path.
Awards provide up to $75,000 per year for two years. Funds are to be used for the stipend support of a single clinical/translational postdoctoral fellow in a given year, as well as laboratory supplies and travel costs.
