The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) is committed to nurturing the next generation of leaders in diabetes research, which is why we are pleased to announce the application period of the Postdoctoral Fellowships Awards is now open! This award recognizes and supports outstanding researchers in their pursuit of innovative and impactful research projects. As there is a pressing need for more talented, early-stage investigators to join the field of diabetes research and tackle these challenges, postdoctoral training is an essential step in launching a successful research career and making significant contributions to the field. Our goal is to support exceptional training opportunities that will enable fellows to make significant advances in scientific research and contribute to the ADA's mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of people affected by diabetes.
