High-Resolution Exploration of the Human Islet Tissue Environment [HIRN Human Pancreas Analysis Consortium (HPAC)] (U01 – Clinical Trial Not Allowed) (RFA-DK-21-017)

National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement applications that will contribute to a higher resolution understanding of the organization of the human pancreatic tissue environment by describing the composition and function of important components of the pancreatic islet and peri-islet tissue architecture, the cell-cell relationships and means of communications used by cell types and cell subtypes within the pancreatic tissue ecosystem, and the contribution of adjacent tissues to islet cell function and dysfunction. Successful projects will integrate the Human Pancreas Analysis Consortium (HPAC) that is part of the Human Islet Research Network or HIRN (https://hirnetwork.org/). HIRN’s overall mission is to support innovative and collaborative translational research to understand how human beta cells are lost in T1D, and to find innovative strategies to protect and replace functional beta cell mass in humans. This FOA will only support studies with a primary focus on increasing our understanding of human tissue structure and function, and human disease biology, as opposed to exploring the biology specific to any animal models.

Characterization of Islet-derived Extracellular Vesicles for Improved Detection, Monitoring, Classification, and Treatment of Type 1 Diabetes (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) (RFA-DK-21-016)

National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

This initiative will support the development of tools and experimental platforms for the purification and characterization of Extracellular Vesicles (EV) originating from the human pancreatic islet and its broader tissue environment in healthy individuals, and individuals with T1D or at-risk of developing the disease. It will also support the exploration of the contribution of pancreatic EV biology to islet function, dysfunction and T1D disease initiation; the development of EV-based diagnostic tools for disease monitoring and classification; and the use of pancreatic EV biology to identify novel therapeutic targets.

Development of New Technologies and Bioengineering Solutions for the Advancement of Cell Replacement Therapies for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) (RFA-DK-21-006)

National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications from institutions/organizations proposing original research addressing barriers that limit progress toward effective cell therapies for type 1 diabetes (T1D). The purpose is to support research leading to the development and testing of novel and supportive technologies for the improvement of cell interventions using novel cell sources, immune-modulatory strategies, biomaterials and devices for T1D treatment.

Application Due Date: October 20, 2021
Expiration Date: October 21, 2021

Catalytic Tool and Technology Development in Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) (PAR-20-140)

National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to support tool or technology development projects, opening new areas of science or translational research. The projects supported by this FOA could involve proof-of-concept studies, prototyping, optimization of a technology for the unique anatomy or physiology of these organ systems, and refinement of technical specifications for subsequent deployment of the technology in laboratory or clinical settings.

Bioinformatics Interdisciplinary Predoctoral Fellowship in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (F31) (PAR-19-378)

National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

This funding opportunity is to enable promising predoctoral fellows to obtain interdisciplinary training during the dissertation phase of their training from outstanding faculty sponsors in bioinformatics and scientific research relevant to the mission of NIDDK’s Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (DDEMD). This training will require mentorship in both bioinformatics and metabolic disease disciplines. In order to advance bioinformatics science and encourage its application to these diseases and disorders, NIDDK invites applications from individuals with novel individual development plans (IDP). The fellowship training plan should focus on interdisciplinary approaches and mentorship among data or computer science and medicine in topics related to diabetes, endocrinology and metabolic diseases.
