AI Contract Overview
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, under the Department of Health and Human Services, plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity for research focusing on microphysiological systems to model type 2 diabetes. This initiative aims to leverage advances in biomaterials, microfluidics, and tissue engineering to create three-dimensional cell cultures that simulate physiological tissue organization. The primary goal is to support small pilot and feasibility studies that generate preliminary data on metabolic tissue crosstalk, the basic mechanisms of human type 2 diabetes, and various prevention and treatment strategies. While applications are not currently being accepted, this forecast serves as a notification for potential applicants to establish collaborations across bioengineering, human metabolism, and diabetes biology. The program emphasizes the utility of these systems in investigating the heterogeneity of clinical responses and biological variations in type 2 diabetes. Interested parties should coordinate with the designated point of contact, Albert J. Hwa, to prepare responsive projects for the upcoming solicitation.

Full Description
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research on microphysiological systems (MPSs) to model type 2 diabetes. Advances in biomaterials, microfluidics, and tissue engineering have resulted in MPSs that allow for greater control of three-dimensional cell cultures containing multiple cell types and constituting more physiological tissue organization. The utility of these systems lends themselves to powerful in vitro modeling of metabolic tissue crosstalk, study of basic mechanisms of human type 2 diabetes, and the testing of prevention and treatment strategies. MPSs are especially useful for investigating the heterogeneity of human T2D biology and clinical responses. The current initiative will support small pilot studies to conceptualize aspects of T2D biology for modeling with MPSs, to support feasibility studies, and to generate preliminary data. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. Collaborative investigations combining expertise in bioengineering, type 2 diabetes biology, and human metabolism will be encouraged and these investigators should begin considering applying for this application.
