HIRN Funding Opportunity: Pancreas Knowledgebase Program (PanKbase)
(RFA-DK-22-018)

Posted on | by Layla Rouse, MS

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to develop a centralized resource of the human pancreas for diabetes research that will provide access to deeply curated high-quality datasets, knowledge in computable forms, and advanced data science tools and workflows; and enable open and reproducible multidisciplinary collaboration toward accelerating biomarker and therapeutic target development. The program will become a component of the Human Islet Research Network or HIRN (https://hirnetwork.org/).
