American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) are at greater risk of being diagnosed with diabetes than any other segment of the U.S. population, suffer high rates of serious complications due to diabetes, and die prematurely as a consequence. The Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Diabetes Translation Research (CAIANDTR) is one of eight Diabetes Translation Research Centers to support and enhance diabetes type 2 translation research.
There are many aspects of CAIANDTR that work together to promote translational research. We created a graphic to help you better understand the relationship of the Center's core components.
