The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) established Central NIDDK Repositories for biosamples and data collected in clinical studies. The purpose of the Central Repositories is to expand the usefulness of these studies by providing access to the biosamples and data to a wider research community beyond the end of the study. |
The NIDDK has funded a Type 1 Diabetes Resource (T1DR) at The Jackson Laboratory (TJL). The purpose of this resource is to collect and cryopreserve ~150 mouse stocks important to research in type 1 diabetes.This major NIDDK-directed collaborative effort currently has an increased emphasis on preclinical research model development. |

FAQs
1. What is HIRN?
HIRN stands for ‘Human Islet Research Network’. It was founded in 2014 to help organize and support collaborative research related to the loss of functional beta cell mass in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The project consists of five independent research initiatives (consortia) as well as a an Administrative Hub consisting of the Program Staff at the NIH NIDDK, a Coordinating Center and Bioinformatics Center.
2. Who is in the HIRN?
The HIRN currently consists of 35 distinct UC4 Research Grants affiliated with one of five consortium. Investigators are located internationally and can be viewed on the website under Participants, on the Investigator Map, or on using our Interactive Investigator Diagram. The Postdoctoral Fellows and Research Staff of each of the UC4 grants are members of the HIRN network as are the Collaborators, External Scientific Panel (ESP) Members, and the NIH NIDDK Program Staff. Additionally, the HIRN also consists of a Coordinating Center and a Bioinformatics Center located within the Department of Diabetes and Cancer Discovery Sciences at City of Hope.
2. How can I learn about HIRN Research?
The abstracts for each HIRN Research Project is posted on the Main Menu under the “Projects” tab. Additionally, under the “Papers” tab on the Main Menu you can access the Annual Executive Summary Reports (under ‘Reports‘) and publications that acknowledge HIRN (under “All HIRN Publications“).
3. How can I learn more about the Annual Investigator Meeting?
Please check under the “Overview” tab on the Main Menu to the “Annual Investigator Meeting” webpage.
4. How can I join HIRN?
HIRN is a closed network. You must have an accepted HIRN UC4 grant to participate. Please check under the “NIH Announcements” part of the “Funding” tab on the Main Menu to see if there are any open Requests for Applications (RFAs) for HIRN.
5. How should HIRN be acknowledged in manuscripts?
Please use the following template for HIRN acknowledgment in publications:
“This research was performed using resources and/or funding provided by the NIDDK-supported Human Islet Research Network
(HIRN, RRID:SCR_014393; https://hirnetwork.org ; UC4 DKZZZZ to XY).”
