NIDDK Workshop Registration Deadline: The Physiology of the Weight Reduced State

The overarching goal of this workshop is to explore the mechanisms and integrative physiology of adaptations in appetite, energy expenditure, and thermogenesis (metabolic adaptation) that occur in the weight reduced state and may oppose weight loss maintenance. The workshop will include: (1)Clinical experience with weight reduction and weight loss maintenance versus regain across interventions (2)Factors opposing weight loss maintenance (3)Factors affecting energy intake in the weight reduced state, including neural and endocrine regulation and the integration of homeostatic and hedonic pathways along with microbiome links (4)Metabolic adaptation/adaptive thermogenesis and tissue-specific roles and mechanisms(5)Strategies for understanding the physiology of the weight reduced state and improving weight loss maintenance (6)Factors potentially responsible for physiological variability in weight maintenance versus regain.

NIDDK Funding Opportunity Letter of Intend Due Date: Diabetes Research Centers (P30 Clinical Trial Optional)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for Diabetes Research Centers that are designed to support and enhance the national research effort in diabetes, its complications, and related endocrine and metabolic diseases. Diabetes Research Centers support two primary research-related activities: Research Core services and a Pilot and Feasibility (P and F) program. All activities pursued by Diabetes Research Centers are designed to enhance the efficiency, productivity, effectiveness, and multidisciplinary nature of research in Diabetes Research Center topic areas. The NIDDK Diabetes Research Centers program in 2018 consists of 16 Centers each located at outstanding research institutions with documented programs of excellence in diabetes-related research. General information about the NIDDK Diabetes Research Centers program may be found at www.diabetescenters.org.
