Description:
Under the leadership of the CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (CIHR-INMD) and funded through Budget 2021 as part of the 100 Years of Insulin: Accelerating Canadian Discoveries to Defeat Diabetes initiative, funding will be provided for an application focused on improving health and resilience, models of care, and self-management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in youth and young adults (YYA) living with or at risk of T2D that are disproportionally impacted, such as in Indigenous communities or in racialized, ethnocultural and low SES communities.
