Meeting Objectives

The purpose of this meeting is to provide our first-time R01 investigators with the information they will need to be successful in securing continued support for their research programs at a very critical juncture in their career. It also provides a networking forum for the new investigators to interact with NIDDK program and review staff and with each other.
