Cooperative Agreement Funding Mechanism
The NIDDK, through the BCBC Cooperative Agreement funding mechanisms, supports a wide range of research projects focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms of beta cell development, stem cell biology, and beta cell regeneration, with the overarching goal of developing cellular therapies for Type 1 diabetes.
