The Research to Action Fellowship empowers patient partners to drive meaningful change in diabetes care. Fellows work in pairs, teaming up with leading organizations to take research off the page and into their communities.
Be the First to Receive Our Fellowship Resources!
You’ve likely heard about the incredible projects from our inaugural Research to Action Fellowship. The deliverables from these initiatives—crafted to make a meaningful impact—will be available in 2025. Ensure you don’t miss these valuable outputs for yourself or your community by the form.
Since May, fellows have participated in hands-on training covering:
Science communication
Knowledge mobilization
Social media
Presentation skills…and more! While learning, each team co-designs a project with their partner organization to bring research to life for real-world impact.
