These awards are designed to assist exceptionally promising investigators. Although JDRF is especially interested in fostering careers in clinical investigation, Career Development Awards may emphasize either basic or clinical topics. The award is up to $150,000 per year, including indirect costs. These funds may be used for research allowance, which can include a technician, supplies, equipment and travel up to $2000 per year. The awards are renewable pending satisfactory progress up to a maximum of four years. Salary for additional research personnel is permitted. Requests for equipment, in years other than the first year, must be strongly justified. Salary requests must be consistent with the established salary structure of the applicant's institution. Indirect costs (excluding equipment) may not exceed 10% of subtotal direct costs. Please see JDRF?s budget guidelines for details.
