Call for Proposals Netherlands-Canada Type 2 Diabetes Research Consortium
ZonMw, the Dutch Diabetes Research Foundation, Health~Holland and CIHR encourage researchers, for-profit private parties and other private parties to apply for a grant for international and interdisciplinary research that will contribute to the battle against type 2 diabetes.

This partnership is intended to fund one Netherlands-Canada Type 2 Diabetes Research Consortium over five years. The Dutch side of the Consortium will be co-funded by three partners (ZonMw, Dutch Diabetes Research Foundation and Health~Holland) for a total investment of € 2.59 M ($3.72M CAD). For this part co-financing is compulsory and must be arranged before the proposal is submitted.
The Canadian side of the consortium will be funded by the CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (INMD) with a commitment of €1.39M ($2M CAD) over five years.
The approved Diabetes Research Consortium must start on 1 January 2021.
The Consortium will require a Dutch lead Nominated Principal Applicant and a Canadian lead NPA who will equally share leadership and management of the Consortium. The Dutch side of the Consortium must be comprised of at least four project leaders of the Diabetes II Breakthrough Projects, one of which will be the Netherlands lead (NPA). New co-applicants from the Netherlands, not currently funded through the Breakthrough Projects funding opportunity, will also be allowed to join the Consortium. One Canadian NPA will lead the Canadian side of the Consortium and may be joined by up to four co-applicants from Canada.
An applicant can participate in a maximum of two applications.
The Consortium consists of at least one for-profit enterprise. Foreign for-profit private parties and research organisations are also encouraged to participate in the Consortium, as long as the results of the research project benefit the Dutch knowledge infrastructure and economy.
