National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Grant: Consortium for Chronic Pancreatitis Research

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases is offering a grant to establish a clinical consortium for the study of chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, and pancreatic cancer. This grant aims to conduct comprehensive studies on chronic pancreatitis and its associations, such as the risk factors for pancreatic cancer, pancreatogenic diabetes, and newly diagnosed diabetes. The Consortium will focus on multidisciplinary research to understand the pathophysiology of chronic pancreatitis, chronic pain, pancreatic insufficiency, and diabetes-conferred pancreatic cancer risks. The Coordination and Data Management Center will oversee the administrative and data functions while establishing a bio-specimen repository for biomarker research.

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites U01 applications for the establishment of a clinical consortium, composed of one Coordination and Data Management Center (CDMC) and up to 9 Clinical Centers (CC), to conduct studies on chronic pancreatitis (CP) and factors that increase the risk of pancreatic cancer in patients (children and adults) with CP, pancreatogenic (type 3c) diabetes (T3cDM) and in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes. The Consortium will form multi-disciplinary teams composed of members from the CCs and CDMC to undertake a comprehensive clinical, epidemiological and biological characterization of patients with CP (including those with Acute Recurrent Pancreatitis, ARP) to gain insight into the pathophysiology of chronic pancreatitis and its sequela: chronic pain, pancreatic insufficiency, T3cDM and the diabetes/pancreatic cancer association. The teams will also undertake studies on the development of pancreatic cancer in newly diagnosed diabetic patients. Applications for the consortium Clinical Centers are being solicited via RFA-DK-14-027 “Consortium for the Study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Centers (CSCPDPC-CCs) (U01)”. To achieve the goal of a comprehensive characterization of evolving chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, the Coordinating and Data Management Center (CDMC) will take on the administrative and data collection/analysis functions and will be responsible for the conduct of all of the ongoing and future studies of the CCs. In addition, a major collaborative effort within the Consortium will be the establishment of an annotated repository of bio-specimens (blood, pancreatic and duodenal juice, stools and when feasible pancreatic tissue) to allow for the identification and validation of biomarkers for risk stratification and/or early detection.
