This grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is for the purpose of establishing a Coordinating Center for the Beta Cell Biology Consortium (BCBC). The selected center will maintain the essential administrative infrastructure for the BCBC, working alongside existing U01 awardees to form a unified consortium. The primary aim of the BCBC is to advance research and generate vital reagents necessary for developing innovative cell-based therapies to combat diabetes. Key responsibilities of the Coordinating Center include facilitating collaborative research projects through organized bi-yearly steering committee meetings and investigator retreats. Furthermore, it will manage specialized BCBC funding initiatives, such as the Collaborative Bridging Program, a Pilot and Feasibility Program, and a Seeding Collaborative Research Program, all designed to foster interdisciplinary progress in beta cell biology.

| Description: | Purpose. The purpose of this Limited Competition is to solicit one application for the Beta Cell Biology (BCBC) Coordinating Center to maintain the ongoing administrative infrastructure for the BCBC. The BCBC Coordinating Center together with participating U01awardees from RFA-DK-09-011 will constitute the Beta Cell Biology Consortium whose aim is to generate necessary reagents and conduct research that will lead to the development of new cell-based therapies for diabetes. The BCBC Coordinating Center will continue to: Facilitate collaborative research projects by organizing bi-yearly steering committee meetings and investigators retreats. Manage special BCBC funding programs such as a Collaborative Bridging Program, a Pilot and Feasibility Program and a Seeding Collaborative Research Program. |
