NIH Funding Opportunity: Pilot Studies Using Microphysiological Systems for Type 2 Diabetes Research

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, is announcing a forthcoming funding opportunity for research on microphysiological systems (MPSs) in type 2 diabetes (T2D): - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases - Purpose: - Support pilot studies using MPSs to model aspects of T2D biology - Encourage collaborative research combining bioengineering, diabetes biology, and human metabolism - Products/Services Requested: - No specific products, part numbers, or quantities requested - No OEMs or vendors specified; this is a grant opportunity for research projects - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Focus on feasibility studies and generation of preliminary data using MPSs - Open to a wide range of applicants, including educational, governmental, nonprofit, business, tribal, and foreign organizations - Emphasis on collaborative, multidisciplinary investigations - No procurement of commercial products or services is involved; this is a research funding announcement

Description

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases plans to fund research on microphysiological systems (MPSs) to model type 2 diabetes. These systems enable advanced in vitro modeling of metabolic tissue interactions and human type 2 diabetes mechanisms. The initiative supports small pilot studies to conceptualize T2D biology aspects, feasibility studies, and preliminary data generation. Collaborative projects combining bioengineering, diabetes biology, and human metabolism expertise are encouraged. Applications are not currently being solicited; this notice allows time for collaboration development.
