2022 NCDRC Pilot Award
The goal of the North Carolina Diabetes Research Center (NCDRC) is to increase the impact of the already important diabetes research ongoing at Duke University, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), and Wake Forest School of Medicine (WF). Each has rich resources and outstanding investigators, and the NCDRC represents a timely opportunity to enhance interactions among these research communities and expand unique capabilities at each site to their neighboring campuses. The mission of the NCDRC is to provide investigators, both established in or new to diabetes research, with access to powerful research technologies to enhance the impact of their work, as well as to connect investigators with collaborators, both at intra- and inter-institutional levels, to broaden the scope of their projects.

Deadline Community-engaged Research Fellowship Application
The goal of the Fellowship is to nurture existing, and/or facilitate the establishment of, a community-engaged research partnership through trust building, skills development, and co-learning.
The community partner will learn about research design, proposal development, and skills that might enhance operations and build organizational capacity (e.g., program development and evaluation). The community partner will spend 10% of their time (paid for by WFSM) to work with the WFSM research partner for 12 months.
The WFSM research partner will learn how community organizations prioritize, function, and overcome obstacles and how community-engaged research can be implemented in community settings. The WFSM research partner will spend 10% of their time (paid for by WFSM) to work with the community partner for 12 months.

Research Shark Tank
We are looking for clinically relevant project teams to participate in a virtual shark tank competition, competing for a $5000 investment and other research resources for the project. Teams will be asked to give timed pitches limited to 5 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of active conversation with the sharks (researchers and administrators from the CTSI). Sharks will grade each project on its feasibility, potential impact, and enthusiasm.
All projects should:
- Address an existing issue or problem currently affecting our patient population
- Propose a new practice, treatment, tool, approach, etc. that has the potential to improve patient care
- Consider ways to disseminate changes or new best practice to the affected patient population
Entry Deadline: August 30, 2021
