Training Programs
The Vanderbilt DRTC also enhances the efforts of three diabetes-related training grants, which is in keeping with the idea that DRTCs promote education and training. These are T32 DK07061-32 (PI, James May, M.D.), "Research Training in Diabetes and Endocrinology," an NRSA postdoctoral grant that provides research training in diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism for four postdoctoral trainees each year; T32 DK07563-19 (PI, Richard O'Brien, Ph.D.), "Training Program in Molecular Endocrinology," an NRSA grant that provides research training for eight pre-and four postdoctoral trainees each year; and T35 DK07383-27 (PI, Alvin C. Powers, M.D.), "Short-Term Research Training," an NRSA grant that provides research training for 25 medical students in diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolism each summer.
