PCRM offers public and professional education materials, most at no or very low cost, on the use of a low-fat, plant-based nutrition approach for diabetes self-management. This scholarship is designed to recognize an educator who demonstrates knowledge of plant-based (vegan) nutrition, and its beneficial role in treating type 2 diabetes, and who has shared this information with people with diabetes under his/her care, resulting in nutritional behavior change and improvements in clinical markers.

Diabetic Nephropathy is a complex phenotype likely caused by the interaction between
susceptibility alleles and environmental factors. There is evidence for a genetic susceptibility to
diabetic kidney disease, but despite intensive research efforts through candidate gene searches,
it has proved difficult to identify the causative genes.

Scope of RFA
JDRF announces a Request for Applications to participate in a collaborative effort to genotype
additional samples for genome-wide association analysis.

Applicants shall complete the rapid-decision application provided on the proposalCENTRAL
