More than $700K to go toward type 1 diabetes research

Nearly $713,000 in federal funding is going to Dartmouth College to support research to test new ways to better treat and control type 1 diabetes.  funding will go toward a five-year study that will use digital tools to support behavioural changes to help young people with diabetes follow a complicated medical regimen and achieve better health outcomes.

It will be distributed by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, which is part of National Institutes of Health.

funding was anunced recently by New Hampshire’s congressional delegation. “Research like this can help to improve quality of life and, ultimately, medical outcomes for countless patients,” U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan said in a statement.

funding to Dartmouth’s Center for Techlogy and Behavioral Health will go toward a study led by Dr. Carine Stanger.

“I am grateful to NIH for ir support of this work since 2012, and look forward to leading this national project, where we will reach out directly to young adults with type 1 diabetes to support m in learning to better man this complex and challenging condition,” said Stanger said.
