Grant reviews, fundraising and education have also stopped, STAT reports, while the association has given notice of a further review of members’ ejections.
The American Diabetes Association’s flagship journal has stopped accepting manuscripts, while grant reviews, fundraising and educational activities have also ceased, STAT reported on October 23, 2026. The stoppages come amid a boycott involving 1,100 members.
The dispute follows the ejection of five association members from its scientific session in New Orleans on June 5. Members have protested through petitions as well as the boycott, according to STAT.
For diabetes researchers, the stoppages interrupt routes for submitting research papers, having grant applications reviewed and taking part in professional education. How long the stoppages will last, and how broadly they apply across the association, remains unclear.
In an October 23 release about its review, the association acknowledged that its code of conduct did not explicitly prohibit distributing materials inside the convention center, STAT reported. STAT described this as the association backing away from its earlier explanations for the ejections.
The association also cited a “written threat that there would be protest and disruption” as background for the ejections. That was the association’s account of the circumstances.
Since the June ejections, the association has issued two explanations, an apology and a summary of its review. It has also given notice of a further review.
