- The University of Kentucky Research Foundation has received a $2,061,903 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Defense's Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) to conduct a 4-year research project titled "Novel Calcitropes as Targets for Cardiomyopathy Treatment". This award aims to support innovative biomedical research focused on developing new treatments for heart disease. The Research Foundation, a non-profit subsidiary of the University of...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,651,504.00 was 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). The grant aims to identify the mechanisms by which impaired long-chain fatty acid oxidation, due to liver-specific deletion of the CPT1A enzyme, leads to sexually dimorphic responses of microvesicular steatosis and reductions in circulating polyunsaturated...
- This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under the Cooperative Agreements for Diabetes Control Programs (CFDA 93.988), provides $499,993.00 in funding to the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMASS Medical) to implement research on lifestyle change interventions that address diabetes prevention and management. The award runs from September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2027. As an academic medical center and research institution,...
- This $644,524 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports a collaborative research project between Howard University and North Carolina A&T State University. The project aims to identify the dynamic structure of the progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D) using mathematical models. Key activities include: Constructing a theoretical threshold to distinguish between diabetes and non-diabetes states, validated using...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,620,238 was 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). The award will fund a research project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to detect regulatory variants and elements at type 2 diabetes genetic association signals across multiple tissues, including pancreatic islets, adipose, skeletal...
- This Cooperative Agreement award, in the amount of $816,325.00, was granted 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). The award will support a collaborative research project to optimize and evaluate novel small molecule "PAIR" inhibitors that target the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway in pancreatic beta cells, with the goal of preventing and...
- This $348,530 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research project between Howard University and North Carolina A&T State University (NC A&T) to identify the dynamic structure of Type 2 diabetes progression. The project aims to develop mathematical models that can reveal the threshold behavior and personalized dynamics of diabetes onset, with the goal of informing new treatment methods. Key...
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation was awarded a $2,234,231 Project Grant under the National Institute of General Medical Sciences' (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to establish a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) focused on Diabetes Prevention. The grant aims to strengthen the foundation of diabetes prevention research at the University of Kentucky by expanding and modernizing diabetes prevention-focused infrastructure and developing a cohort of junior researchers with expertise in cutting-edge diabetes prevention strategies. The 5-year project period runs from September 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030. The award supports the University of Kentucky's efforts to address the high prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes in the state and develop new approaches to delay or stop the transition from prediabetes to overt diabetes.
