This is a non-competitive funding opportunity intended to fund a single award. The NIDDK is announcing its intent to issue a single source cooperative agreement award to the University of Pennsylvania. The purpose of this Single Source is to extend the Human Pancreas Analysis Program for Type 2 Diabetes (HPAP-T2D). The HPAP-T2D is a resource-generation program that is tasked with: 1) identifying, collecting and intensively characterizing primary pancreatic tissues from patients with T2D and related forms of islet dysfunctions, as well as age-matched controls; and 2) curating, organizing, analyzing and sharing the data resulting from the study of these tissues through the PANC DB open-access resource database. HPAP-T2D is a component of the Human Islet Research Network (HIRN), created in 2014 to support innovative and collaborative translational research to understand how human beta cells are lost in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), and to find innovative strategies to protect and replace functional human beta cell mass.
