--- ## Description The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at NIH intends to release a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) soliciting research on the application of digital health technology (DHT) to the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The initiative aims to address gaps in evidence for multimodal digital health interventions, leveraging FDA-cleared DHT to improve patient access, engagement, metabolic outcomes, and healthcare economics. The scope includes, but is not limited to, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), telemedicine, connected digital devices (such as smartwatches, activity monitors, and digital scales), mobile health (mHealth) applications for tracking clinical parameters, and tools for bidirectional communication with healthcare providers. Peer support mechanisms via digital interventions are also encouraged. This notice is provided in advance to allow potential applicants time to develop collaborations and responsive projects. The anticipated FOA will use the R01 activity code and will require clinical trials. --- ## Due Dates - Estimated application due date: October 13, 2025 *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Funding details, including total program funding, award ceiling, and floor, have not yet been announced. - The opportunity will use the R01 mechanism (Clinical Trial Required), which typically supports multi-year research projects; specific amounts will be detailed in the forthcoming NOFO. --- ## Eligibility - Eligible applicants: Private institutions of higher education - Additional eligibility: U.S. territories or possessions are included - Collaborative applications involving digital health technology expertise are encouraged --- ## Application Process - This is a notice of intent; applications are not yet being solicited. - The official funding announcement (NOFO) will provide detailed application instructions and requirements. - Investigators should begin preparing collaborations and project concepts in anticipation of the FOA release. - No cost sharing or matching is required. --- ## Additional Information - The opportunity will focus on rigorous, evidence-based research for digital health interventions in T2D management. - Both single-modality and multimodality digital health approaches are within scope. - Peer support and patient empowerment components via digital means are encouraged. - The estimated FOA release date is September 12, 2025. --- ## External Links - [NIH Main Website](https://www.nih.gov/) - [Official Grants.gov Opportunity Listing](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359252) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Email | Phone | Affiliation | |---------------------|------------------------------------|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Henry B.
