Funding Opportunities
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The University of Toronto has announced a suspension of payments,
effective April 2009, for income that would normally flow from endowed
investments. Since the vast majority of BBDC annual funding comes
from endowment income, this poses a huge challenge for the Centre,
namely how to try and continue operations while faced with a crippling
cessation of funding that normally flows from our endowments. Due to the significant loss of income, we may make changes to the
Centre's funding programs until the current fiscal challenges subside.
Changes may affect the number of programs offered, the number of
awards disbursed, and/or the dollar value of individual awards.
Who May Apply
One must be a registered member of the BBDC to apply for funding, except for programs indicated by an asterisk (*). Specific eligibility requirements are outlined for each program. Those who are new to the field of diabetes research, education, or care and are not members of the BBDC can request free membership by contacting the Centre prior to submitting an application. For more information about BBDC membership, please view the MEMBERSHIP section of this website.
