This Project Grant award of $583,732 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) supports research on molecular prediction, disease progression, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) phenotypes in South Asians. The key objectives are to: Investigate genetic associations with T2D and prediabetes phenotypes, develop polygenic risk scores, and explore associations between genetic...
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $1,439,769 project grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to the University of Southern California. This 5-year study, titled "PFAS Exposure and Diabetic Kidney Disease in Youth with Type 2 Diabetes: A Multi-Omic Approach for Prevention and Treatment," aims to investigate the link between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances...
This Project Grant award, funded by the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), provides $324,883 to support a pilot trial of an intervention to improve initial type 2 diabetes self-management among younger adults with children. The project aims to develop an effective behavior change intervention that can influence long-term diabetes-related health outcomes during the critical first year following...
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $711,791 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, doing business as Kaiser Permanente.

This federal Project Grant award of $706,199 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) supports research to uncover the mechanisms of NAD depletion in obesity-induced pancreatic beta cell dysfunction and test strategies to restore beta cell mass and function in type 2 diabetes models. The award aims to define changes in NAD biosynthesis and degradation pathways...
This Project Grant award of $400,000 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to explore the role of insulin resistance in the development of renal disease during prepubertal childhood obesity. The research aims to investigate how insulin resistance alters glucose transport and energy metabolism in renal proximal tubules, potentially leading to...

This federal Project Grant award of $191,245, provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), is focused on developing a predictive risk score for pre-diabetes and youth-onset type 2 diabetes (YT2D) in children. The key objectives are to: 1) Develop an early predictive risk score utilizing clinical factors known at birth; 2) Refine the risk score using cord blood biomarkers such as C-peptide and methylation; and 3) Recruit and longitudinally follow a cohort of youth with pre-diabetes to characterize those who progress to YT2D. The award recipient is the Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, which has significant expertise in medical research and a strong track record of receiving federal grants from agencies like the NIH. This project aims to advance understanding of early risk factors for YT2D and lay the groundwork for future preventive interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality in this population.
