<h3>P&F program</h3>
<p>The Diabetes Center Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) program provides seed support for new and innovative research projects directed at basic biomedical, clinical and translational research questions relevant to diabetes and its complications.</p>
<p>The P&F program is designed to support:</p>
<ul>
<li>new investigators</li>
<li>established investigators new to diabetes research</li>
<li>established diabetes investigators pursuing high impact/high risk projects or projects that are a significant departure from their usual work</li>
</ul>
<p>Individual Center P&F programs may also be structured to provide support for establishing interdisciplinary collaborations and to help forge new partnerships between basic scientists and clinical researchers.</p>
<p>For more information about Pilot and Feasibility opportunities in the NIDDK Diabetes Center program, please visit the following individual center P&F websites:</p>

<h3>P&F program</h3>
<p>The Diabetes Center Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) program provides seed support for new and innovative research projects directed at basic biomedical, clinical and translational research questions relevant to diabetes and its complications.</p>
<p>The P&F program is designed to support:</p>
<ul>
<li>new investigators</li>
<li>established investigators new to diabetes research</li>
<li>established diabetes investigators pursuing high impact/high risk projects or projects that are a significant departure from their usual work</li>
</ul>
<p>Individual Center P&F programs may also be structured to provide support for establishing interdisciplinary collaborations and to help forge new partnerships between basic scientists and clinical researchers.</p>
<p>For more information about Pilot and Feasibility opportunities in the NIDDK Diabetes Center program, please visit the following individual center P&F websites:</p>
