There is an urgent need to create sustainable systems to facilitate the success of early-career faculty as it pertains to the mission of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).

SPLENDOR-NC draws upon well-established collaborations through our NIDDK-funded UNC Nutrition Obesity Research Center and our NIDDK-funded North Carolina Diabetes Research Center.

We leverage the strong partnerships between Duke University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University, and Winston-Salem State University, and to facilitate the success of early-career faculty engaged in research in the fields of nutrition, obesity, and diabetes.

SPLENDOR-NC offers a two-year Scholars Program and a Pilot and Feasibility Program.
