Peers for Progress, an organization sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians, has released a call for proposals (CFP) to evaluate the benefits of peer support for people with diabetes. Successful proposals will be awarded grants for between $500,000 and $1,000,000.

According to the CFP, eligible applicants include “university-based researchers, health systems, and other organizations with experience and recognizable accomplishments in both (a) diabetes management and/or use of peer-based interventions in health promotion and chronic disease management; and (b) research or program evaluation. Full information about this funding opportunity is available on the Peers for Progress website.
