Through matching funds from HHDC and PHF this program will award up to $1.6M to researchers to launch investigations for Diabetes-Research. Additionally, this year HHDC is collaborating with the Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC) to offer $1.0M to researchers to launch collaborative investigations for Diabetes and Cancer Research. This program will consider two types of proposals including Team Science proposals for established teams and Pre-Team Science proposals for teams that are just forming.
