This publication is one means of conveying the important accomplishments that have resulted from NIDDK-funded research, as well as the enormous promise this research holds for the future. The examples given here are representative of the much larger and more diverse research portfolio funded by the NIDDK. This compendium is a web-based publication, which is also presented to the NIDDK’s National Advisory Council in printed form each February.
The following documents are presented in PDF format. PDF documents can be viewed using the free Adobe® Acrobat® Reader software.
