In partnership with lead sponsors JDRF and the Helmsley Charitable Trust, the Diabetes Innovation Challenge will award $250,000 in cash and in-kind prizes for the winning innovations that can improve the lives of 30+ million people living with diabetes (with a particular focus on insulin-dependent diabetes).
The Diabetes Innovation Challenge is seeking:
• Automated Insulin Devices and related components including glucose sensing, insulin delivery systems, and cellular therapy delivery technologies
• Diagnostics such as tests for research and screening; early diagnosis and prevention; autoantibodies, C- peptide, or other markers such as beta cell death and risk of diabetic complications
• Therapeutics like smart insulins, glucagons, immune-modulating therapies, beta cell regeneration, and treatments for diabetic complications
• Technology Design/Disease Management. For example, new approaches to using information and communication technologies to support diabetes management
The deadline for applications is January 31, 2018.
