The American Diabetes Association (ADA) Cardiovascular-Metabolic Fellowship Awards are designed to support basic, clinical or translational research focused on cardiovascular disease in the context of diabetes. Applications from postdoctoral research fellows proposing fundamental biological research, mechanistic and outcome-based clinical studies, behavioral research, and epidemiologic research will be accepted.
The ADA Cardiovascular-Metabolic Fellowship Awards applications are intended to focus on the following areas of investigation:
- Mechanistic studies to examine the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease in the context of diabetes
- Clinical investigations aimed at defining the optimal therapeutic approaches for addressing cardiovascular risk factors in people with diabetes
- Studies examining the effect of treatment approaches on the progression of cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes
- Strategies for improved care delivery for patients with diabetes and CVD, including the development of improved clinical decision support tools
The application deadline is October 26, 2020 for January 1, 2021 funding. The Association intends to fund 2 fellowships from the ADA Cardiovascular-Metabolic Fellowship Awards request for applications.
