The purpose of the Regular Research Grant mechanism is to provide investigators with support to explore the feasibility and development of proposals that are considered to be on the leading edge of diabetes research and that address the JDRF research emphasis areas. Proposals that have the potential to impact the current state of diabetes research or that clearly lead to avenues of therapeutic benefit are major considerations for the Regular Research Grant. Also of merit are exploratory proposals that may or may not have sufficient preliminary data but have a sound research development plan that is considered to be of high priority to the JDRF. The Regular Research Grant mechanism is specifically intended to support innovative proposals that can be developed to a level of maturity where generated data strengthens future research project grant applications for ongoing support.
