Description:
The publication, NIDDK Recent Advances & Emerging Opportunities, is a document that the NIDDK has issued annually since 2001. It is a compendium that highlights examples of the many research advances published by NIDDK-funded scientists and their colleagues in the most recent fiscal year, along with the technologies that made these achievements possible. Thus, most of the research findings described in the January 2015 compendium were published in fiscal year 2014. In addition to research advances, the compendium includes:
- "Stories of Discovery," which trace research progress in specific areas over a much longer period of time;
- "Scientific Presentations," which have been made by eminent researchers during 2014; and
- "Patient Profiles," which recount the personal stories of several patients whose lives have been adversely affected by disease.
This publication is one means of conveying the
important accomplishments that have resulted from NIDDK-funded research, as well
as the enormous promise this research holds for the future. The examples given
here are representative of the much larger and more diverse research portfolio
funded by the NIDDK. This compendium is a web-based publication, which is also
presented to the NIDDK's National Advisory Council in printed form each January
or February.
