This R21 Exploratory/Development Research Grant, offered by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and National Institutes of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), National Institutes of Health, is for the purpose of developing novel tools and methods to measure human brown adipose tissue (BAT). This includes accurately assessing BAT mass in various depots, its integration with other tissues, and new ways to modulate and measure BAT metabolic activity. The grant also supports identifying additional markers for human BAT mass or activity. Up to $3.45 million will fund approximately 10-12 awards for these critical exploratory research efforts.
