Project Grant R01DK140330
- This Project Grant award of $604,853 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) will fund research at Rockefeller University to elucidate the genetic determinants of human brown adipose tissue (BAT) function. The goal is to develop a better understanding of how BAT, which can protect against obesity and associated metabolic diseases, is regulated in humans. The research will leverage...
- This $801,009 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) supports research by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to study the role of vascular sympathetic neurons in brown adipose tissue and their effects on systemic metabolism. The research aims to utilize newly developed mouse genetic and chemogenetic tools, improved imaging techniques, and in vivo assays to examine how distinct subpopulations of...
- This federal Project Grant award of $813,511 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 at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. (DFCI) to investigate the structural basis and functional consequences of thermogenic mitochondrial respiratory complexes assembly in the context of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The research aims to...
- This federal Project Grant award 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), provides $245,123 to support research on the role of vascular sympathetic neurons in brown adipose tissue and their impact on systemic metabolism. The project, led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, aims to use novel genetic and chemogenetic tools, advanced...
- This $233,250 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research to understand how macrophage branched chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism contributes to obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. The project, led by The Washington University, will investigate the role of the enzyme protein phosphatase 1K (PPM1K) in regulating macrophage BCAA metabolism and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $464,985, 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), supports research on extracellular vesicles released by adipocytes (fat cells) and their potential role in cardiometabolic disease. The research, conducted by The Washington University, aims to investigate how these adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicles, including...
- This federal Project Grant award of $196,460 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), will support research to determine how inhibiting the migration of immature neutrophils during obesity affects hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, metabolism, and systemic inflammation. The award, made on Jun 23, 2025, is to The Trustees of Columbia University in the...
- This $3,255,832 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) will support research at the University of Chicago to investigate the role of macrophages in weight loss-induced metabolic health and adipose tissue inflammation resolution. The project aims to determine the phenotype, function, and transcriptome of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue macrophages across mouse and human models, as well as test strategies like cell...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $773,112 Project Grant to Rockefeller University on September 5, 2025 under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research to investigate the mechanisms of transcriptional control in adipocyte formation and function through nuclear receptor coactivators. The research aims to provide a better understanding of dysregulation in energy storage...
- This federal Project Grant award 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), provides $176,500.00 to the University of Washington to investigate the links between hypothalamic microglia activation and perineuronal net (PNN) loss in the arcuate nucleus, and how these changes contribute to the pathogenesis of diet-induced obesity and glucose regulation. The...
This Project Grant award of $709,931 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), provided under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research on the role of neutrophils in regulating brown adipose tissue (BAT) function. The research aims to characterize how neutrophils are recruited to BAT and undergo metabolic and transcriptional changes in response to cold exposure, and to assess the impact of neutrophil depletion on BAT thermogenesis and systemic metabolic homeostasis. The award was granted to The Washington University, a leading private research institution, to conduct this specialized scientific investigation with a performance period from August 15, 2025 to June 30, 2030.
