The Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) administers the Charles H. Best Trust Fund to support research to enhance our understanding of diabetes and its prevention, causes, cure and management. The National Research Council (NRC) of the Canadian Diabetes Association, on the basis of ratings from the Personnel Awards review committee, makes final funding recommendations for Personnel Award, and Canadian Diabetes Association Great West Life, London Life and Canada Life Young Scientist Award applications. The Association welcomes applications submitted in French and every effort is made to have a bilingual CDA peer review committee. If it is not practical to have a fully bilingual peer review committee, the applications may be translated into English to ensure a comprehensive review process.
