The New Investigator Gateway Award in T1D Research is designed to support a robust pipeline of innovative projects and talented new investigators in T1D research. In addition to providing support for preliminary research, the Gateway program provides an opportunity for new Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PIs) to pursue their studies within the intellectual environment of a select number of large, ongoing collaborative research programs. Embedding awardees within an established scientific framework in each of these consortia will provide unique opportunities for New and Early Stage Investigators to increase their understanding of key questions in the field, to network, and to establish unique and potentially long-lasting collaborations that will propel their careers forward. Bringing New and Early Stage Investigators into existing collaborative research networks will also benefit the networks by providing new ideas and perspectives.

For the purpose of this FOA, multiple PD(s)/PI(s) are not allowed.
Applicants must meet the definition of a New Investigator (NI) or Early Stage Investigator (ESI) at the time of application. A New Investigator is defined as PD/PI who has not competed successfully for a significant NIH independent research award. An Early Stage Investigator (ESI) is a New Investigator who is within 10 years of completing his/her terminal research degree or end of post-graduate clinical training. See the Office of Extramural Research for a complete list of NIH grants that do not disqualify a PD/PI as a new investigator and for frequently asked questions about the NIH Early Stage Investigator (ESI) Policy.
Applications may request budgets of up to $100,000 in direct costs per year for up to two years.
