The George Washington University today announced that it has received two grants totaling nearly $24.5 million dollars, the largest grant allocation the university has received in recent history.
"Receiving these grants, specifically on the same day, reaffirms that GW is making a serious and sustained impact in the research community," said Leo Chalupa, vice president of research. "Our growing profile in the science and research arena not only reflects positively on the institution but also on the caliber of our faculty and other resources."
The National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has awarded John Lachin, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics with the School of Public Health and Health Services (SPHHS), almost $14 million for the Biostatistics Center for the continuation of the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and its Complications study (EDIC) project.
This study is the long-term follow up to the Diabetes and Control Complications Trial (DCCT) in which the epidemiology of diabetes interventions and complications are studied. The goal for the next five years is to accurately describe the long-term effects of glycemia and other risk factors on diabetes complications.
