+## What will DP-Next do?
+We aim to use these developments to design and deliver a sustainably effective strategy for prevention of T2D in Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
+
+We will work towards this aim in four Work Packages (WP) across all seven Steno Diabetes Centres:

+
+WP1 (Management and Collaboration) will manage the project and foster deep collaboration between all partners. 
+
+WP2 (Risk Prediction) will develop an exclusively register-based diabetes risk prediction model for the entire Danish, Greenlandic and Faroese populations, applying advanced statistical and machine learning approaches on a wide set of risk indicators.  It will map out meaningful subgroups and validate internally and in external populations.
+WP3 (Heterogeneity) will map out heterogeneity in T2D risk in a subgroup of ~1000 participants with HbA1c-based pre-diabetes with a special focus on regional fat distribution, hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance.
+WP4 (Intervention Development) will develop an intervention for sustainable primary diabetes prevention based on co-creation, a systems approach and the “Complex Interventions” framework and evaluate the pragmatic feasibility of intervention components in two risk subgroups in real life practical settings.
