http://www.t1diabetes.nih.gov/T1D-PTP/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. Investigator access is provided to the established facilities and expertise needed to extend, enhance and validate preclinical studies of promising new therapeutics in cases where additional preclinical testing is needed to validate potential therapies under disease-specific conditions and in multiple animal models before therapeutics can enter the Type 1 Diabetes Rapid Access to Intervention Development (T1D-RAID) development pipeline. The T1D-RAID program provides resources for pre-clinical development of drugs, natural products, and biologics that will be tested as new therapeutics in type 1 diabetes clinical trials. The T1D-RAID program is not currently accepting applications. The T1D-PTP program currently supports two contracts, which are separate from each other and from the T1D-RAID NCI contract resources, to assist in preclinical development of therapeutics for T1D: * Agents to be tested for Preclinical Efficacy in Prevention or Reversal of Type 1 Diabetes in Rodent Models. Type 1 Diabetes Preclinical Testing Program (T1D-PTP) (NOT-DK-09-006) * Needs for Preclinical Efficacy Testing of Promising Agents to Prevent or Reverse Diabetic Complications (NOT-DK-09-009) The T1D-RAID and T1D-PTP are programs intended to remove the most common barriers to progress in identification and development of new therapies for Type 1 Diabetes. The common goal of these programs is to support and provide for the preclinical work necessary to obtain proof of principle establishing that a new molecule or novel approach will be a viable candidate for expanded clinical evaluation.

http://hembase.niddk.nih.gov/

Database designed for web-based examination of the human erythroid transcriptome. The database is organized to provide a cytogenetic band position, a unique name as well as a concise annotation for each entry. Search queries may be performed by name, keyword or cytogenetic location. Search results are linked to primary sequence data and three major human genome browsers for access to information considered current at the time of each search. Hembase provides interested scientists and clinical hematologists with a genome-based approach toward the study of erythroid biology. Red blood cells in the circulation arise from hematopoietic stem cells that proliferate as erythroid progenitors and differentiate into erythroid precursor cells in response to the hormone erythropoietin. Messenger RNA was isolated from those cells and used to generate gene libraries. Sequencing several thousand expressed sequence tags (EST) from those libraries was then performed. Those EST and sequences encoding several hundred additional genes with known expression in erythroid cells are compiled here as a database of human erythroid gene activity. The database is organized and linked according to the location of these sequences within the human genome., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 15,2026.

http://archives.niddk.nih.gov/patient/bach/bach.aspx

An epidemiologic study being conducted in the Boston metropolitan area to examine the prevalence of symptoms for health problems such as interstitial cystitis, urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, hypogonadism, and sexual function. Of interest to the survey are health disparities and inequalities. BACH is especially concerned with lack of adequate health insurance, lack of access to adequate medical care, and how these problems influence patterns of disease. The study also focuses on social determinants of disease that are over and above the contribution of individual characteristics and risk factors. To achieve a randomly sampled population, four neighborhoods were divided into 12 strata and from them investigators selected census blocks. Households were then randomly selected from the census blocks and sampled to identify eligible study participants. Investigators conduct a two-hour, in-home, bilingual field interview of all eligible participants, looking at symptoms and asking questions about lifestyle, physical activity, alcohol use, nutrition, demographics, and morbidity. They also conduct a detailed inventory of medications, both prescribed and over-the-counter, and take two non-fasting blood samples for hormone, cholesterol, and lipid levels that will be stored for future studies. By the time the study ends, approximately 6,000 men and women, ages 30 to 79, from four Boston area neighborhoods that have density levels proportionate with minority populations will have been interviewed in their homes. One third of the randomly sampled population will be African American; one third, Hispanic; and one third, Caucasian.

http://www.t1diabetes.nih.gov/t1d-raid/index.shtml

NOTE: The T1D-RAID program is not currently accepting applications. Cooperative program that makes available, on a competitive basis, NCI resources for the pre-clinical development of drugs, natural products, and biologics to facilitate translation to the clinic of novel, scientifically meritorious therapeutic interventions for type 1 diabetes and its complications. A partial listing of those services includes: high-throughput screening, studies in animal models, formulation, pharmacology and toxicology studies, and bulk substances acquisition. Requests to T1D-RAID are brief (20 pages or less), and should clearly outline the resources required to ready the proposed therapeutic agent for clinical trials. T1D-RAID should enable entry into the clinic of promising molecules that are not otherwise likely to receive an adequate and timely clinical test. T1D-RAID is designed to accomplish the tasks that are rate-limiting in bringing discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic. Once a project has been approved, NIDDKstaff interact directly with the Principal Investigator (PI). NCI contractors perform the T1D-RAID-approved tasks under the direction of NIDDKand NCI staff. The required tasks will vary from project to project. In some cases T1D-RAID will support only one or two key missing steps necessary to bring a compound to the clinic; in other cases it may be necessary to supply the entire portfolio of development requirements needed to file an IND. Examples of tasks that can be supported by T1D-RAID include, but are not limited to: * Definition or optimization of dose and schedule for in vivo activity * Development of pharmacology assays * Conduct of pharmacology studies with a pre-determined assay * Acquisition of bulk substance (GMP and non-GMP) * Scale-up production from lab-scale to clinical-trials lot scale * Development of suitable formulations * Development of analytical methods for bulk substances * Production of dosage forms * Stability assurance of dosage forms * Range-finding initial toxicology * IND-directed toxicology, with correlative pharmacology and histopathology * Planning of clinical trials * Regulatory affairs, so that FDA requirements are likely to be satisfied by participating investigators seeking to test new molecular entities in the clinic * IND filing advice The output of T1D-RAID activities will be both products and information that will be made fully available to the originating investigator for support of an IND application and clinical trials. T1D-RAID does not sponsor clinical trials.
