Message from Norman Rosenblum, INMD Scientific Director
January 2024
As we enter the new year, INMD and partners are continuing efforts to engage the research community, persons with lived/living experience, and policy/decision makers in the field of diabetes. I am pleased to announce the launch of the Operating Grants: Knowledge Mobilization in Diabetes Prevention and Treatment. The goal of this funding opportunity is to enhance knowledge mobilization in the field of diabetes, focusing on evidence integration into health services, programs, and policies. This funding opportunity will complement CIHR’s 100 Years of Insulin: Accelerating Canadian Discoveries to Defeat Diabetes initiative which supports research to develop preventive and therapeutic paradigms that reverse the upward trajectory of diabetes prevalence and associated morbidities and reduce the impact of diabetes on individuals, families, and communities.
Please note, this funding opportunity is not only limited to researchers who are currently funded under the 100 Years of Insulin initiative. For those interested in this funding opportunity, please visit the webinar webpage for more details about the CIHR applicant webinar.
I am also pleased to announce two new members of the INMD Institute Advisory Board (IAB): Craig Settee from the Can-SOLVE CKD Network and Dr. Treena Wasonti:io Delormier from McGill University. Please visit the INMD website to read more about these new INMD IAB members.
