TOS pre-conference workshop: MOUSE MODELS OF OBESITY
Experimental mouse models of obesity have shed light into the mechanisms of weight gain and mechanisms to prevent it. The ability to manipulate the genome has led to the identification of neural and systemic causes of obesity. Moreover, targets for pharmaceutical agents have been identified in the mouse. Despite the number of existing genetic mouse models of obesity and the ability to create new ones, the ability to study the physiology of the mouse remains challenging. This is due to the small size of the mouse. This workshop will describe physiological, environmental, and surgical tools to study mouse models of obesity using state-of-the-ar

NIDDK Funding Opportunity Application Due Date: Planning Grants for Pragmatic Research in Healthcare Settings to Improve Diabetes and Obesity Prevention and Care (R34 Clinical Trial Required)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to seek research applications that pilot test approaches to improve diabetes and obesity prevention and/or treatment in healthcare settings where individuals receive their medical care. Research applications should be developed to pilot test practical and sustainable strategies to improve processes of care and health outcomes for individuals with or at risk of diabetes and/or obesity. The research should also focus on approaches with the potential to be broadly disseminated outside the specific setting where it is being tested. The goal is that, if the pilot study shows promising results, the data from the R34 will be used to support a full-scale trial focused on improving routine healthcare practice and informing healthcare policy for the prevention or management of diabetes and obesity. Therefore, interventions must be integrated into the existing healthcare structure and/or processes. The healthcare setting may not be used solely as a venue for recruitment.
