Recipients Selected for Health Disparities and Diabetes Research Awards
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has selected eight award recipients for its Health Disparities and Diabetes Research
Awards (Junior Faculty Development and Innovative Clinical or Translational Science award mechanisms). This research is
crucially important and prioritizes the impact of health disparities on the diabetes community to address health inequities. The
ADA has broadened its reach into the health disparities space to accomplish the goal of identifying and ending systemic health
inequities and reducing the impact of disproportionately high rates of diabetes in underrepresented communities. These research
awards, which began on November 15, 2021, provide up to $200,000 per year for up to 3 years, depending on award type.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently launched a new monthly
digital series through Facebook LIVE called Spotlight the Science. This engaging
and informative conversation features ADA-funded investigators highlighting the
critically important work being done to accelerate innovations ensuring the best
possible therapies for people with diabetes, drive research that improves the lives
of those affected by diabetes, and make life better for people with diabetes by
creating resources and tools to support them throughout their life journey. We
