Emory糖尿病转化研究中心获330万美元续拨:五年聚焦佐治亚州农村糖尿病,网络逾160名专家

位于佐治亚州Atlanta市的Emory大学11月4日宣布,该校的佐治亚糖尿病转化研究中心(Georgia Center for Diabetes Translation Research,GCDTR)获得一笔约330万美元的五年期续拨,将把糖尿病防治研究继续推向佐治亚州农村地区。消息由Emory大学Rollins公共卫生学院发布。
续拨来自美国国立卫生研究院下属的国立糖尿病与消化肾脏疾病研究所(NIDDK),以P30中心拨款形式发放,周期为2026至2031年。新周期设四大方向:农村健康、生命全程糖尿病、精准糖尿病,以及超级智能(SI)与其他技术创新。
该中心2016年由Emory大学、Morehouse医学院与佐治亚理工学院共同创立,现已发展为逾160名专家的研究网络,新近加入的伙伴包括Kennesaw州立大学、Mercer大学与Augusta大学,另有Miami大学、佛罗里达大学、田纳西健康科学中心与弗吉尼亚州院校参与。
中心负责人为Mohammed K. Ali医学博士,项目主任Jeff Mills。中心表示,佐治亚州农村地区糖尿病负担重、专科资源少,续拨资金将用于把在城市医院验证过的干预办法改造成农村诊所与社区可用的方案。

Emory's Georgia Diabetes Translation Research Center Wins $3.3 Million Renewal: Five Years on Rural Diabetes With a 160-Expert Network
Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, announced on November 4 that its Georgia Center for Diabetes Translation Research (GCDTR) has received a five-year grant renewal of about $3.3 million to keep pushing diabetes research and prevention into rural Georgia. The news was released by Emory's Rollins School of Public Health.
The renewal is a P30 center grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of the National Institutes of Health, covering 2026 through 2031. The new cycle is organized around four themes: rural health, diabetes across the life course, precision diabetes, and super intelligence (SI) and other technology innovation.
The center was founded in 2016 by Emory, the Morehouse School of Medicine and the Georgia Institute of Technology, and has grown into a network of more than 160 experts. Newer partners include Kennesaw State University, Mercer University and Augusta University, with the University of Miami, the University of Florida, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and Virginia institutions also taking part.
The center is led by Mohammed K. Ali, MD, with Jeff Mills as program director. The center says rural Georgia carries a heavy diabetes burden with few specialists, and the renewed funding will adapt interventions proven in urban hospitals for rural clinics and communities.
