ALT Infographic titled 'Predictors of Study Retention in the DPPOS' displaying various charts and texts. The left panel outlines participants and objectives, the middle panel shows a graph titled ‘Years to First Dropout by Age Group’ with color-coded lines representing different age groups, and characteristics relating to study retention time. The right panel lists key findings related to retention rates among various demographic groups. Logos of NIDDK and NIH are present at the top.

“Every day that goes by threatens the survival of this valuable scientific resource. Without funding, staff at our 30 centers will need to find new employment…long-term connections with loyal participants will inevitably disintegrate.” @ColumbiaSpec

New DPP Results: “Now, we have scientific proof that even if you wait until midlife to change your diet and activity levels, you can add many years of life free from diabetes and all the disabling conditions that come along with it.” @GWpublichealth

“When research funding is cut, #patients pay the price and a generation of discoveries is lost. We must protect the independence and integrity of science and remain focused on the #patients. This is not someone else’s problem, but ours” by @AACRPres @AACR #AACR25 @YaleCancer

A powerful moment at #AACR25 as attendees stand together to champion the lifesaving impact of cancer research.

Funding for the DPPOS remains halted, an "innocent bystander" in the federal action against Columbia. If not reversed ASAP, it will undermine our nation’s best opportunity to uncover root cause of Alzheimer's and Dementia & waste taxpayer’s $! #MAHA @SecKennedy @DrJBhattacharya
Restore the Diabetes Prevention Program | It is important to understand that the bulk of the funding is spread across 30 institutions in 21 states. It’s imperative that every senator and representative is contacted about the urgency of saving this program. Join our campaign: bit.ly/4kGIlLk

As Kennedy Champions Chronic Disease Prevention, Key Research Is Cut - "The program has been terminated, and the reason has little to do with its merits. Instead, it seems to be a matter of a lead researcher’s working in the wrong place at the wrong time."nytimes.com/2025/04/07/healt…

This is analogous to tearing down historical monuments, in #science , but worse
statnews.com/2025/03/17/trum…
Longitudinal observational data like the #diabetes prevention program gives us the first glimpses into what might help or harm #health
This is completely antithetical to #MAHA
