Diabetes Endocrinology Research Centers (DERCs)
Government Diabetes Endocrinology Research Centers (DERCs)
Mission: The NIDDK supports two types of centers to foster diabetes research: Diabetes Research and Training Centers and Diabetes Endocrinology Research Centers. These centers facilitate progress in research by providing shared resources to enhance the efficiency of biomedical research and foster collaborations within and among institutions with established, comprehensive bases of research relevant to diabetes mellitus. They focus on basic and clinical research. In addition, the DRTCs provide substantial support for cores and pilot and feasibility projects directed at prevention and control of diabetes and translation of research advances into clinical practice.
Materials: Individual centers produce a variety of diabetes education materials. For information about publications and programs, contact the individual centers listed below.
