Please click on the “RFA Announcement” link above for complete information.

Description

JDRF is the world’s leading non-profit organization with the mission to improve the lives of people with T1D by accelerating breakthroughs for T1D. JDRF eagerly awaits the submission of pioneering research proposals aimed at advancing our understanding of glycemic changes during disease progression in presymptomatic individuals, with the potential to improve progression biomarkers and monitoring their transition to clinical diagnosis. The knowledge gained in this RFA may eventually be applicable to support regulatory decisions and be part of monitoring guidelines, enabling more effective early identification and timely intervention by healthcare professionals, including the use of innovative treatments like the recent FDA-approved teplizumab treatment, as well as other immunotherapies currently in clinical trials. As such, its implementation would mark a significant milestone in the pursuit of delaying or preventing T1D and its associated complications.
