Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge: Novel Insulins Innovation Incubator (LOI)

Aim: to support transformative research in the field of insulin development.

welcomes high-risk/high-reward projects that have the potential to move the field in big steps, not incremental developments. It is not limited to a particular type of novel insulin. Applications investigating any bold concept, for example, glucose responsive insulins, liver-targeted insulins, monomeric/dimeric insulins, etc are equally welcome.

Strong preliminary data should form the basis of any application. Applications must show evidence that the potential product developed would be of interest to people with type 1 diabetes and offer a welcome alternative to current insulins.

Funding: up to 1 year with budgets capped at £500,000. Under exceptional circumstances such as the need to use large animal models, a higher budget (up to £1 million) may be considered. Please contact the JDRF UK Research Team early at SMFgrandchallenge@jdrf.org.uk to discuss such a request. (No overhead).
