"Unfortunately there are not always opportunities to translate the science from ivory tower academic institutions into real world communities," said Dr Linda Siminerio, Executive Director of the University of Pittsburgh Diabetes Institute and former IDF Senior Vice-President. "Through translational research and with the help of key community members, we begin to learn how to effectively champion healthy lifestyles, and improve our ability to prevent diabetes and its complications." "In many cases we have the scientific knowledge and proven therapies, however we need to adapt this knowledge to meet the needs of our communities.

BRIDGES is the perfect vehicle to do this and I would encourage all health professionals and researchers to join us and to channel their expertise to improving the lives of people living with diabetes." Through BRIDGES, IDF will provide funding for pilot projects and outcome studies over the course of seven years. Relevant topics include methods and strategies to improve health care delivery to people with/at risk of diabetes; enhance diabetes self management; promote healthy lifestyles or lifestyle change to reduce the risk of diabetes; and identify people with pre-diabetes and undiagnosed diabetes in cost effective ways.

"Lilly is committed to delivering breakthrough pharmaceutical products that improve the lives of people with diabetes," said Jose Caro, MD, Vice President of Global Diabetes Care Outcomes, Eli Lilly and Company. "Still, we know that success won't come through medical intervention alone. We believe BRIDGES will identify important new ways to help people with diabetes meet the challenges they face every day and we are excited about this next step."
