## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract – Administration Core
The Administration Core of the Michigan Center for Diabetes Translational Research (MCDTR) provides
leadership, infrastructure, and resources to:
• Raise awareness of, and interest in, research along the spectrum of diabetes T2-T4 translational
 research with a particular emphasis on novel approaches to improve health equity and create an
 environment that supports such research.
• Support new and established investigators, particularly those from
 underrepresented/diverse backgrounds, in developing, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based
 approaches to improving care and health equity in communities, health care organizations, and
 populations disproportionately affected by diabetes.
• Administer Cores that provide MCDTR members with services critical to T2-T4 translational research in
 diabetes, including addressing social and behavioral determinants of health, leveraging multiple
 strategies of providing self-management support, and rigorously designing, implementing, and
 evaluating evidence-based interventions and strategies.
• Provide enrichment programming that fosters interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaborations to
 develop and support early stage and other researchers through education and training.
• Administer a Pilot and Feasibility Study Grants Program to attract new researchers, especially those
 from underrepresented/diverse backgrounds, to diabetes translational research that improves health
 equity and enable awardees to generate sufficient bodies of preliminary data to successfully apply for
 research funding from NIH and other national granting agencies. (Administration Core)
• Administer a cross-sectoral collaborations initiative that engages and pairs local and state partners with
 researchers aiming to improve access, equity, and health outcomes for people with and at risk for
diabetes.
• Maintain the Center’s website.
The Administration Core is responsible for identifying and supporting researchers engaged in T2-T4
Diabetes translational research; for developing and implementing Cores to provide services to funded diabetes
translational researchers locally, regionally, nationally and internationally; for overseeing the allocation of
Center resources; for providing an Enrichment Program; for implementing a process for solicitation,
review, selection, monitoring, and follow-up of the Center’s Pilot and Feasibility Study Grants; for administering
a cross-sectoral collaborations initiative, and for developing and maintaining a website that integrates
seamlessly with the Caswell Diabetes Instituteand the NIDDK Diabetes Centers websites.
