About the DRTC

The University of Chicago Diabetes Research and Training Center (DRTC) provides resources for the support and coordination of the research and training activities in diabetes and related metabolic and endocrine disorders of a large and growing number of independently funded but highly interactive investigators. The DRTC stimulates science and behavioral research interest. Moreover, the DRTC has helped create an environment which encourages young investigators to move to the University of Chicago and supports their early development through a highly successful Pilot and Feasibility Program.
