Specific Areas of Research Interest
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
NIDDK is interested in applications using an intersectionality perspective to address health and health care disparities in NIDDK-related diseases and conditions in sexual and gender minority populations who are from minoritized racial and ethnic populations and/or from lower SES, focused on innovative observational, etiological, and/or intervention-based research. NIDDK mission diseases and conditions include diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases; gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic diseases, nutritional disorders, and obesity; and kidney, urologic, and/or hematologic diseases.
NIDDK encourages research conducted using an equity lens, which considers—at each decision point—how processes, values, assumptions, and actions may affect inclusive excellence in our research and workforce and the overall well-being and health of diverse population groups.
NIDDK encourages applications that demonstrate consideration of the Tips for Pursuing Competent Health Equity Research (see Appendix G of Pathways to Health for All). This includes applications with interdisciplinary research teams comprised of individuals with a breadth of lived experiences and biomedical scientific expertise deemed necessary to positively inform the study design, research conduct, and applicability of research findings for the populations of interest. Successful applicants will also leverage community-engaged research approaches that meaningfully include people who identify with SGM groups, minoritized racial/ethnic and socio-economic statuses, and/or who are living with NIDDK disease/conditions.
To be assigned to the NIDDK, applications must be directly related to the mission of the NIDDK (https://www.niddk.nih.gov/about-niddk/meet-director/mission-vision). NIDDK has many research areas within its mission, but all research related to relevant diseases may not be appropriate for NIDDK. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NIDDK staff as soon as possible in the development of the application, so that NIDDK staff can help the applicant understand whether the proposed project is within the goals and mission of the Institute.
