The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), has announced a funding opportunity for small R01 grants aimed at supporting clinical trials that address diseases within its mission. This initiative encourages pilot and feasibility studies in human subjects to gather preliminary and feasibility data necessary for larger clinical trials focused on the prevention and treatment of diabetes and other related conditions. With an anticipated budget of $1 million for fiscal year 2025, NIDDK plans to fund up to three awards, each with a maximum direct cost of $200,000 annually over a three-year project period. Interested applicants must submit their proposals electronically through Grants.gov by May 7, 2026, and are encouraged to include a "Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives" to promote inclusivity in their research efforts. For further inquiries, applicants can contact NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov.
