Description
The Breakthrough T1D Conference Awards program is designed to help institutions organize scientific meetings, conferences, or workshops that further the mission of Breakthrough T1D—advancing research and improving outcomes in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Supported events must focus on topics directly relevant to T1D research, treatment, prevention, or complications, and should facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and community building within the T1D research community.
Funding is strictly for institutional event costs (such as venue, materials, and speaker support); support for individual attendance (registration fees, travel, personal expenses) is not eligible. The program aims to ensure that events have the resources needed to promote impactful scientific exchange in the T1D field.
