The Type 1 Diabetes Prevention Trial, also known as the Intranasal Insulin Trial (INIT II), is part of a coordinated global effort to develop a vaccine for type 1 diabetes. The trial, which began in 2006, is jointly funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), through the Diabetes Vaccine Development Centre (DVDC).

If successful, this vaccine could prevent type 1 diabetes and the need for daily insulin injections in people at risk.
