All decisions must go through not only the scientific review committee, but also the lay review committee and be approved by senior management -- so it is pretty transparent if you care to look. Personally, I would rather JDRF spent the money they have thrown at closed-loop systems towards startups like SmartCells, Inc. as that would all but eliminate the need for testing supplies, infusion sets and all the other costly and miscellaneous supplies that pump systems now require, but the company will need to complete Phase I human clinical trials before they can be eligible for grants.Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.com
