The EDID Research Consortium comprises multidisciplinary groups of scientists and clinicians who, under the auspices of the Psychosocial Aspects of Diabetes study group (PSAD) of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), have joined forces to enhance understanding and knowledge of one of the most prevalent and costly mental health problems associated with diabetes mellitus, namely depression. 
The main aim of the EDID Research Consortium is:
To identify and implement research activities required to explore and resolve issues in the assessment, treatment and management of depression in diabetes.
This network of diabetesresearchers provides an unique opportunity to examine how clinical issues related to the prevention, screening, assessment and treatment of depression differ across European countries/regions and health care settings. While common research questions will be examined in collaborative research projects, each participating group may also address specific independent research questions.
EDID researchers are currently active in the United Kingdom, USA, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland, Romania, Norway, Denmark and Turkey. The EDID Reseach Consortium's network is supported by a grant from Novo Nordisk and the DAWN Study.
