Nearly $713,000 in federal funding is going to Dartmouth College to support research to test new ways to better treat and control type 1 diabetes.

The funding will go toward a five-year study that will use digital tools to support behavioral changes to help young people with diabetes follow a complicated medical regimen and achieve better health outcomes.

It will be distributed by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, which is part of the National Institutes of Health.

The funding was announced recently by New Hampshires congressional delegation.

Research like this can help to improve quality of life and, ultimately, medical outcomes for countless patients, U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan said in a statement.

The funding to Dartmouths Center for Technology and Behavioral Health will go toward a study led by Dr. Catherine Stanger.

I am grateful to the NIH for their support of this work since 2012, and look forward to leading this national project, where we will reach out directly to young adults with type 1 diabetes to support them in learning to better manage this complex and challenging condition, said Stanger said.
