- 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.
