Membership

As a Diabetes Research Center member, you will have access to core facilities to support your research activities. Core services are provided on a fee-for-service basis. Therefore, adequate budget allocations should be made in the grant application to cover the cost of the services requested. In addition, members are eligible to apply for financial support through the pilot feasibility program.

The Diabetes Research Center is committed to supporting all members through program enrichment activities and scientific interactions to foster a collegial approach to diabetes research.

• Relevance of research effort to Diabetes Research Center goals to improve diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diabetes
• Active intellectual involvement in Diabetes Research Center research, program enrichment, and training programs
• Utilization of shared core facilities and services
