The Diabetes Prevention Trial (DPT-l) is a randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to determine if it is
possible to prevent or delay the onset of Type 1, or Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM), in people
predicted to be at risk for this disease. The DPT-l is a multi-centered study sponsored by the National Institute
of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), in cooperation with the National Institute of Child
Health & Human Development, the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases, the National Center for
Research Resources, the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International, and the American Diabetes Association.
The DPT-1 started in early 1994 and will be carried out at medical centers around the nation for six years. NOTE: The DPT-1 is no longer screening for new patients.

The Center exists to meet the needs of investigators and thereby support and strengthen the University's interdepartmental activities in research, training and outreach in the field of diabetes, its complications and related endocrinology and metabolism disorders. The resources provided by the Diabetes Center have expanded and enriched the base of investigators involved in diabetes research,the Center's most important resource, and have orchestrated innovative multidisciplinary programs throughout its existence.
The overall goals of the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center are to:
Facilitate and focus basic molecular and cellular research in the area of diabetes and related metabolic and endocrine disorders.
Promote the validation and application of relevant new basic knowledge in the clinical arena through rational, innovative and streamlined clinical, epidemiological and outcomes research.
Evaluate, refine and disseminate new clinical knowledge regarding diabetes and related disorders into community health practices, especially in those communities at increased risk.Recruit, train, motivate and retain an effective pool of basic and clinical investigators and health care professional personnel in the area of diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism.

The Islet Foundation is different, focusing its resources to advance one specific line of research from the laboratory to human trials and, ultimately, to a routine cure for insulin-dependent diabetes. Rather than spread its resources among many diabetic
management and research initiatives, TIF is betting on a single body of research, one which many researchers feel is the most likely to result in a near-term cure.
