Grant Description

Purpose. This FOA issued by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases(NIDDK) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health, solicits new and competing continuation applications for national Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPCs). MMPCs are fee-for-service providers of in-depth phenotyping tests for mouse models of diabetes, obesity, and related metabolic diseases or conditions. Mice and/or their tissues are shipped to MMPC facilities where standardized procedures are used to characterize metabolism, body composition, feeding behavior, activity, tissue pathology, organ function, and other physiologic, anatomic or pathologic alterations. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the U24 award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of related scientific scope, RFA-DK-10-007, that solicits applications for the Coordinating and Bioinformatics Unit for the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers consortium (U24). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIDDK and NHLBI anticipate awarding four to six centers in response to the FOA. The total amount to be awarded is up to $4,310,000 per year for a total of 5 years.
