The project seeks to improve utilization of effective...
- This $168,252 federal Project Grant awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research at Trustees of Boston University (DBA Boston University Medical Campus) to study the molecular mechanisms of nuclear receptor corepressors NCOR1 and SMRT and their role in regulating metabolism via actions in the intestine. The overarching goal is to expand...
- This $854,803 federal Project Grant was awarded on June 13, 2025 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 will fund the creation of a comprehensive, curated data repository for indirect calorimetry experiments in mice, which will capture critical data on factors influencing energy homeostasis, such as food intake, metabolic rate, and physical activity....
- This $161,871 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) from August 2025 to July 2030, will fund a pilot study to refine and optimize a school-based obesity prevention intervention for adolescent girls in an urban informal settlement in Kenya. The key objectives are to: 1) Engage the community to refine intervention components based on previous research, and 2) Conduct a pilot Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST)...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $502,233, 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 supports research conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate neuron populations in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) that mediate the aversive and non-aversive suppression of food intake. The research aims to further...
The University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) was awarded a $665,250 Project Grant 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). The grant, effective September 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, will establish a Nutrition Obesity Research Centers Research Resource Center (NORC-RRC) at KUMCRI. The NORC-RRC will consist of an Administrative Core, Pilot and Feasibility Program, and Opportunity Program. The Administrative Core will provide support for the broader NORC program, including administrative assistance, bolstering areas of thematic importance, supporting early-to-mid career investigators, and developing training and mentoring programs for the next generation of nutrition and obesity researchers. The Pilot and Feasibility Program will focus on advancing training and research opportunities for early-to-mid career professionals seeking careers in nutrition and obesity. The Opportunity Program will fund NORC-wide programs and projects aligned with the program's goals, including efforts to improve rigor and reproducibility of nutrition and obesity research, as well as mentorship and career development initiatives.
