Description
Project Concepts is Breakthrough T1D’s semi-annual opportunity to submit Strategic Research Agreement Letters of Intent (LOIs) addressing its current Research Strategy. The mechanism supports investigators working on critical gaps and challenges in type 1 diabetes research, with priority given to concepts offering transformative breakthroughs to prevent, treat, or cure the disease. Breakthrough T1D encourages innovative, high-risk/high-reward, field-changing research.
Strategic Research Agreements are partnerships between investigators and Breakthrough T1D scientists, involving cooperative research-plan development and interaction before and during the award. The mechanism encompasses single-project, multi-project, and clinical research. Clinical agreements support therapeutic trials and non-interventional patient-oriented studies intended to develop clinical interventions or monitoring tools for diabetes and its complications.
