PILOT AND FEASIBILITY PROGRAM: PROJECT SUMMARY The Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Diabetes Translation Research (CAIANDTR) nurtures innovative research at the intersection of diabetes, related morbidities, and health inequities, focusing on their prevention, treatment, and consequences across the lifespan. It funds Early Stage Investigators to conduct secondary analyses that can answer important questions about diabetes and related conditions in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. Such investments seed emerging research areas and facilitate development of promising investigators, thus helping to enhance scientific knowledge related to diabetes in Native communities and to expand the workforce that can move diabetes translation research in this population forward. CAIANDTR's Pilot and Feasibility Program will support at least two pilot projects during each project year. Projects will last 18 months, with the first 12 months focusing on completion and publication of a proposed secondary analysis and the final six months aimed at development of a grant application (e.g., R21, K01). Throughout each project, awardees will receive formal training (e.g., scientific writing, grant development) and regular mentorship. Projects will be reviewed monthly for progress and resources will be provided to address barriers to investigator success. The Annual P&FP Awardee Meeting represents an opportunity for networking and scientific exchange as well as collection of evaluation data to enable continuous improvement of the P&FP.
