The Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center (FOEDRC) recently announced the results of its fourteenth round of Pilot and Feasibility Grants for 2024-2025.

Brandon S. Davies, PhD, Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology was selected for one of four funding awards for his project, "Cardiac Triglyceride Uptake and Insulin Sensitivity After Omega‐3 Fatty Acid Feeding."

The FOEDRC Pilot and Feasibility grant awards fund innovative pilot projects by early career investigators who are entering the diabetes research field, or established investigators with innovative ideas that focus on a new direction in diabetes research. The goal of the program is to generate data that will enable awardees to compete for peer-reviewed national funding for projects that show exceptional promise.
