Description

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity to solicit applications for research on microphysiological systems to model type 2 diabetes. The initiative supports small pilot studies to conceptualize aspects of type 2 diabetes biology for modeling with these systems, support feasibility studies, and generate preliminary data. Collaborative investigations combining expertise in bioengineering, type 2 diabetes biology, and human metabolism are encouraged. Applications are not being solicited at this time; this notice provides advance notice for potential applicants to prepare and develop collaborations.
