AI Contract Overview
The National K12 Program for the Career Development of Clinician-Scientists in Diabetes Research, known as Diabetes-DOCS, is a forecast opportunity from the National Institutes of Health designed to support physicians pursuing careers in diabetes research. The program primarily focuses on Type 1 Diabetes research through the Statutory Special Diabetes Program, with the potential to expand funding for Type 2 Diabetes research starting in the second year. While a single national administrative center will be awarded, scholars will be supported at their respective home institutions to increase the number of independent physician scientists. Under this program, scholars are prohibited from serving as the lead investigator for independent clinical trials. However, they may participate in clinical trials if the projects are led by an experienced mentor or collaborator. This initiative is authorized under the Public Health Service Act and the American Relief Act of 2025, aiming to address the shortage of pediatric endocrinologists and other physician specialists conducting innovative research into the causes and consequences of diabetes.

Full Description
The NIDDK seeks to advance its mission by funding a program to support the career development of physicians committed to a career in diabetes research. The program is intended to remedy the dearth of pediatric endocrinologists and physicians from other specialties conducting innovative research into the causes and consequences of diabetes. Although there will be one national administrative center awardee, scholars are expected to be appointed and supported at their home institutions around the country. The program will have a focus on Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) research, with the major funding from the Statutory Special Diabetes Program https://www.niddk.nih.gov/about-niddk/research-areas/diabetes/type-1-diabetes-special-statutory-funding-program/about-special-diabetes-program. Starting in the second year, the program may add additional funds if available to support the career development of physicians whose research focuses on innovative projects in type 2 diabetes. The program is expected to deliver on goals to increase the number of physician scientists with independent research careers in the mission of NIDDK https://www.niddk.nih.gov/research-funding/research-programs#diabetes.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) does not allow Scholars to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial. However, Scholars may engage in clinical trials as part of their research and career development if those trials are led by an experienced mentor. For example, Scholars may propose a separate ancillary study to an ongoing clinical trial; or propose a new trial which is led by a collaborator or mentor.
