EFSD/MDS European Reseach Programme on New Targets for Type 2 Diabetes

Objectiu: The EFSD European Research Programme on New Targets for Type 2 Diabetes is intended to stimulate and accelerate European research focusing on the identification and molecular understanding of new targets for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The Programme is supported by an educational research grant from MSD.

Àrees de Recerca: Proposals may include but are not limited to:

- Mechanisms to induce “browning of adipose tissue”

- New targets for improving skeletal muscle or adipose tissue insulin resistance

- Bile acid biology as it relates to metabolic disease. This includes actions relating to glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, energy balance and related diseases including diabetes, atherosclerosis and obesity

- Lipid metabolism as it relates to insulin action

- Mechanisms of glucose-dependent insulin and glucagon secretion

Requeriments:

- Applications for an EFSD New Targets 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 employed full-time at a non-profit institution and the study must be performed at their place of work. 

- Principal investigators must be paid-up EASD members.

- The principal investigator should submmit the application as one complete PDF e-mail attachment to the following address before 12:00 midday (CET) on the deadline date: Foundation@easd.org

Documentació:

- All applications must be prepared on the official application form (atttached in this email) and completed in strict accordance with the detailed instructions to be found on these forms.

Durada: 1 year or longer, depending upon the needs of the project and as justified in the application. EFSD may, on advisement from the Review Committee, recommend an award in a different amount from that requested, but which is considered more appropriate for the proposed studies.
