The Diabetes Investigator Awards are designed to provide operating support to independent researchers through the bulk of their careers. In exceptional circumstances, successful candidates may request to have a maximum of $50,000 per year for salary support to protect research time. Researchers may only hold one Diabetes Investigator Award at a time. These awards are tenable at a public or not-for-profit institution in Canada. There are two streams of Diabetes Investigator Awards: Clinician Scientist and Research Scientist. All assessment criteria remain the same, but the applications will be ranked only against other applications in the same stream.

Successful applicants to this competition must have no significant overlap with other funded projects or programs. Applicants holding or applying for grants from other organizations (e.g., CIHR, JDRF) must provide the full research proposal from such projects or programs at the time of submission. Your application will be submitted VIA ResearchNet. Please view the ResearchNet announcement for full submission details.

At the time of application, no fewer than 5 years and no more than 15 years may have elapsed since the applicant?s first academic appointment as an assistant professor or equivalent.
