The Awards will be presented to outstanding researchers in type 1 diabetes for the publications or patents demonstrating the highest innovation, impact and importance in the 2010 calendar year.
Awards are offered in two categories: Early Career Researcher and Established Researcher. The winners of each Award receive a personal award and a cash prize of $5,000 to be used for the advancement of their research career in the field of type 1 diabetes.
