The European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes (EFSD) was created by the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) to provide multiple funding initiatives in all areas of diabetes research. The aims of EFSD are to encourage and support research in the field of diabetes, to rapidly diffuse acquired knowledge and to facilitate its application.

Main Features

EFSD, JDRF and Lilly have established a new programme called EFSD/JDRF/Lilly European Programme in Type 1 Diabetes to encourage new projects aimed at advancing current knowledge in this domain.

The general goals of the Programme are to:

- promote the highest quality of basic biomedical and clinical research in Europe and its associated countries applicable to type 1 diabetes;

- expedite the practical application of scientific advances in our understanding of the aetiology, pathogenesis, treatment and prevention of type 1 diabetes and its complications;

- encourage clinical translational research bridging the bench and the bedside;

- increase awareness of type 1 diabetes research throughout Europe

This year, the EFSD/JDRF/Lilly European Programme in Type 1 Diabetes Research will accept applications within any area of basic or clinical research related to type 1 diabetes including treatment and monitoring strategies

Requeriments

Applications for an EFSD research grant are invited from single non-profit institutions or groups of such institutions from Europe and associated countries. The principal investigator and any co-investigators must be normally employed full-time at a non-profit institution and the study must be performed at their place of work.

Duration

The duration of each award may be one year or longer, depending upon the needs of the project and as justified in the application.

Funding

Research will be supported through the award of grants, each of up to Euro 100,000.
Applicants who have a funding requirement larger than that specified above are also invited to apply to this Programme, particularly if this relates to a clinical research project: in this case, the relevant financial requirements not exceeding €400,000 should be indicated and well justified in the budget section of the application form.
