Treating Diabetes Distress to Improve Glycemic Outcomes in Type 1 Diabetes (R01 Clinical Trial Required)
This FOA seeks applications for clinical trials testing interventions targeting diabetes distress in individuals with type 1 diabetes and/or their caregivers, with the goal of understanding whether lowering diabetes distress will improve glycemic control and quality of life. Given the clinical care recommendation that screening for diabetes distress take place in the context of medical care, applications should reflect a practical team approach to screening and treatment that could realistically occur in a clinical setting.RFA-DK-19-021 (Source: NIDDK Funding Opportunities)

Expanding NIH ’s Definition of Socio-Economic Disadvantaged to be More Inclusive and Diversify the Workforce
An extensive literature demonstrates that socioeconomic status is one of the
strongest predictors of health, on par with typical
risk markers like smoking, physical inactivity, hypertension, and
diabetes. An intriguing graphic shows life
expectancy according to stops on the London subway system – as described in a news story, “if you travel eastbound between Lancaster Gate and Mile
End – 20 minutes on the Central line – life expectancy decreases by 12
years.” This association of strong links
between socioeconomic status and health is remarkably reproducible – including
on subway maps of the ...
