Project Grant TL1DK151273

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded Yale University $488,592 on September 1, 2026, under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to support a TL1 training program for predoctoral students, postdoctoral physician-scientists, and postdoctoral PhD scientists pursuing research-focused careers in adult and pediatric nephrologic, urologic, and hematologic health and disease.

The program identifies and recruits trainees of exceptional promise through broad outreach to mentors and trainees across the participating research community, with annual requests for applications distributed to all departments at relevant schools and to national societies and professional organizations. Both postdoctoral and predoctoral applicants are ranked using a study section format based on quality and scientific merit. Trainees are recruited without regard to race, sex, or ethnicity and are open to all meritorious candidates. The program strives to recruit trainees from both participating institutions—Yale and the University of Connecticut—with support for research interests spanning kidney, urologic, and hematologic sciences. All appointed trainees receive a primary research mentor who has completed mentor training and is approved by the administrative core.

The award funds work performed in New Haven, Connecticut, with a period of performance extending from September 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
