Description
End Diabetes Awards fund research to enhance our understanding of diabetes and its prevention, treatment, management and cure. Diabetes Canada accepts research proposals in biomedical, clinical, health services and/or population health research to fund the best research towards improving the lives of people living with or at risk of diabetes and its complications.
The objective of the End Diabetes Awards are:
- To support the discovery of the biomedical, clinical, health services and/or population health factors that lead to the onset and progression of all types of diabetes and related complications.
- To develop solutions aimed at the prevention, management and finding a cure(s) for diabetes and its complications.
- To address challenges in diabetes health services and/or design and implement solutions that improve healthcare delivery, health policies and access to care for all communities and populations affected by diabetes.
