Summary of New Investigators funded to participate in the Human Islet Research Network (HIRN):
- Emerging Leaders are internally HIRN-funded awards to experienced senior postdoctoral fellows who intends to continue research careers in scientific areas supported by the Human Islet Research Network. This funding opportunity was designed to provide support & protected time for senior postdocs seeking to pursue studies that will enhance their transition toward independent research careers. The research proposed must be relevant to the goals of HIRN consortia.

- Gateway Investigators are NIH NIDDK funded awards issued to young investigators to embark on successful careers in T1D research. Awardees are established in each of the HIRN consortia to increase their understanding of key questions in the field, to network, and to establish unique and potentially long-lasting collaborations that will propel their careers forward. It is anticipated that the Gateway award will provide the support needed to enhance the success of future R01 submissions from New Investigators interested in pursuing careers in T1D research.

- New Investigators are internally HIRN-funded awards to apply bold and highly innovative new research approaches to biological problems under current investigation in HIRN. The HIRN New Investigator Pilot Award was designed to provide support for early career investigators who may need funding to explore feasibility of a new concept in support of an eventual R01 application. The research proposed must be relevant to the goals of HIRN consortia.
