IDia – Innovators in Diabetes

Are you an early career researcher with an interest in diabetes? Do you have the potential to develop into a leader in the field?

The exciting Innovator in Diabetes (IDia) programme is your chance to expand your knowledge, gain new skills and network with other like-minded researchers.

About the programme

The aim of the programme is to:

  • create a vibrant diabetes research network
  • provide generic skills not available elsewhere
  • help researchers understand the background and perspectives of different researchers, both basic and clinical
  • provide continuing support of diabetes research.

The programme involves the attendance of a residential weekend once a year over a three-year period. The most recent weekend took place from Thursday 25 to Saturday 27 April 2013 in Barnsdale, Oakham.

The 2014 timescale for applications will be announced later in 2013.

When you apply, please ensure that you will be available to attend the dates mentioned above, as the number of places available is limited.

Who should apply?

Applicants should be:

  • at least six years post primary degree (BSc or first medical degree)
  • a non-clinical or clinical researcher and include those involved in health service research
  • enthusiasts
