## Abstract

The Enrichment Program supports the overall mission of the Penn DRC to prevent, treat, and cure diabetes. Its
goals are to ensure that the DRC investigators from different departments and locations interact frequently and
productively, that new scientific knowledge related to diabetes is disseminated to DRC investigators, and that
the importance of diabetes research is recognized in the Philadelphia area. To achieve these goals, the
Enrichment Program has the following Specific Aims: 1) Disseminate new diabetes research knowledge; 2)
Foster interactions among DRC investigators; 3) Catalyze interdisciplinary interactions; 4) Foster the
next generation of diabetes researchers; and 5) Increase awareness of the Penn DRC and the
importance of diabetes research. The high scientific quality of the Enrichment Program's activities attracts
not only Penn DRC members, but other members of the research community to lectures and events that
increase awareness of Penn DRC cores and diabetes research. In addition, lay-oriented community events are
hosted and designed to educate the public about the devastating epidemic of diabetes, and the importance of
diabetes research at the Penn DRC and elsewhere to preventing and curing these diseases. In sum, the
Enrichment Program of the Penn DRC plays a vital role in advancing the exchange of knowledge about
diabetes, catalyzing interdisciplinary interactions and research in the scientific community it serves, and
enhancing awareness of exciting diabetes research aimed at a cure at a time when the disease is rampant and
increasingly threatening the health of people in Philadelphia and across the United States.
