## Abstract

PILOT AND FEASIBILITY PROGRAM: PROJECT SUMMARY
The Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Diabetes Translation Research (CAIANDTR) nurtures
innovative research at the intersection of diabetes, related morbidities, and health inequities, focusing on their
prevention, treatment, and consequences across the lifespan. Toward this end, it funds pilot and feasibility
projects that develop novel approaches to improving the health of underserved American Indian and Alaska
Native (AI/AN) populations. Such investments seed emerging research areas, explore new methodologies, and
pursue new collaborations that could evolve into independently funded research or demonstration projects.
Pilot data from preliminary studies are also crucial for obtaining significant funding from the National Institutes
of Health (NIH), industry partners, and private foundations. Accordingly, CAIANDTR's Pilot and Feasibility
Program allocates up to $20,000 per year per project for a maximum of 2 years to support scientifically
meritorious studies that rigorously test practices, treatments, educational efforts, and policies that can effect
sustained, widespread reductions in AI/AN health disparities due to diabetes. Projects to date have focused on
factors related to recruitment and retention of participants and patients; on innovative, culturally informed
methods for improving health literacy; on the influence of family structure and processes on adherence to
treatment recommendations; on the relationship between organizational climate and culture to intervention
outcomes; and on effective dissemination of findings. During the renewal period, these activities support
investigators across the country, thereby enhancing CAIANDTR's role as a national resource that contributes
to the development of new research methods, technologies, and approaches pertinent to innovative, goal-
directed diabetes research.
