Abstract

In 2014, the American Diabetes Association instituted a novel funding paradigm to support diabetes research through its Pathway to Stop Diabetes program. This program took a multifaceted approach to providing key funding to diabetes researchers to advance a broad spectrum of research programs on all aspects of understanding, managing, and treating diabetes. Here, the personal perspective of a 2019 Pathway Accelerator awardee is offered, describing a research program seeking to advance a materials-centered approach to engineering glucose-responsive devices and new delivery tools for better therapeutic outcomes in treating diabetes. This is offered alongside a personal reflection on 5 years of support from the ADA Pathway Program.
