| Description: | This FOA invites applications for continuation the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP) that provides for the distribution of human cadaveric islets for biomedical research. It solicits a single coordinating center that will subcontract with qualified islet isolation facilities to prepare and distribute human islets. The Coordinating Center will manage an application process to establish eligibility to receive islets, maintain a roster of investigators approved to receive islets, implement a notification system informing investigators of human islet availability, implement a partial cost recovery system through fees collected from islet recipients, and develop a system to monitor and improve the quality of islets distributed. Human islets are an essential resource for diabetes research, both to advance our understanding of human islet cell biology and to develop therapies for the treatment of diabetes. The coordinating center will provide an indispensible research service to the medical community by providing access to human islets and foster improved standardization and quality of this precious research resource. |
