NIDDK Workshop Registration Deadline: NIDDK Network of Minority Health Research Investigators(NMRI) Virtual West Regional Meeting

Description:More than 300 researchers have participated in NMRI workshops in the past decade, and approximately 100 are active members. The success of the NMRI, a network that is “owned” by its members and supported by the NIDDK, begins with the dedication of senior investigators who mentor and serve as role models for junior investigators. The participation of active members and the recruitment of new members is a primary reason for the Network’s success in the past and the reason for confidence that it will continue to grow in the future. Event Date: December 7th, 2020.

dkNET Webinar Series: CEDAR - The Center For Expanded Data Annotation And Retrieval

Abstract: With the explosion of interest in open science, the past few years have overflowed with discussions of making scientific data “FAIR”—findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. The problem is that most scientific datasets are by no means FAIR. When left to their own devices, scientists do a terrible job creating the metadata that describe the experimental datasets that make their way to online repositories. The lack of standardization makes it extremely difficult for other investigators to locate relevant datasets, to reanalyze them, and to integrate those datasets with other data. There is an urgent need to make it easy for investigators to author metadata that adhere to community standards and that describe datasets in reproducible terms. The Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval (CEDAR) is developing technology with the goal of doing just that. Although it will take more than technology to make data FAIR, solid infrastructure is an essential prerequisite. CEDAR demonstrates the value of making it easy for scientists to author metadata that are complete, comprehensive, and standardized.

The top 3 key questions that CEDAR can answer: 1)How can I describe my experiment in a way that will allow other investigators to find my data? 2)What are the essential metadata fields needed to describe an experiment that uses a method such as RNA-Seq? 3) How can I easily enter metadata that are acceptable to a repository such as NCBI’s BioSample database?

Presenter: Mark Musen, PhD, Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Stanford University, where he is Director of the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research.

[Cancelled] Conference: A Gut Systemic Perspective for Metabolic Disease

Changes of the microbiome and nutrient sensing within the gut alter whole-body glucose and energy homeostasis. The underlying mechanism and the therapeutic potential of such metabolic regulation in diabetes, obesity, and related disorders remain largely unexplored. This Keystone Symposia conference aims to progressively highlight a spectrum of basic and translational investigations and discoveries that first focus on microbial-host interaction and nutrient sensing mechanisms. Other sessions focus on the interaction between the gut microbiome and nutrient sensing pathways as well as how these pathways could be targeted by small molecules and/or immunological responses within the gut to impact systemic organs and whole-body metabolic homeostasis. In summary, we anticipate this conference will foster interactions between the basic, translational, clinical and pharmaceutical researchers and promote collaborative work aimed at realizing the therapeutic potential of targeting the gut microbiota-nutrient sensing axis for the treatment of metabolic disorders.

Location:  Fairmont Château Whistler, 4599 Chateau Blvd, Whistler, BC V8E

NIDDK Funding Opportunity Application Deadline: Biomarkers of Dietary Intake and Exposure Coordinating Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with high morbidity, including increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular disease, and mortality. Severity, duration, and frequency of episodes of AKI as well as age, pre-existing CKD, and other comorbidities are associated with greater risks of CKD progression and death. There is limited evidence to inform recommendations for processes of care or therapeutic interventions targeting progression of kidney disease and the associated morbidity and mortality in AKI survivors. This is a missed opportunity to prevent chronic disease and premature death. The Caring for OutPatiEnts after Acute Kidney Injury (COPE-AKI) Consortium composed of 3 to 4 Clinical Centers (CCs) and a Scientific and Data Research Center (SDRC) will develop and test interventions that aim to reduce morbidity compared with usual care in Stage 2 and 3 AKI survivors.

NIDDK Funding Opportunity: NIDDK Research Education Program Utilizing Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) - Generated Resources (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) Letter of Intent Due Date

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH.  The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs.

To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on: Research Experiences; Courses for Skills Development. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to establish research programs for qualified graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, medicalresidents, biomedical engineers, and clinical fellows to engage in neuroscience research experiences relevant to the mission of NIDDK and its partnership with the Common Fund program, Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC). The intent is to leverage this partnership to provide resources for short-term research experiences that would necessarily use SPARC-generated resources (datasets/maps/models) as the foundation for the research experience in conjunction with educational activities that may be combined with hands-on computational or ‘wet lab’ projects. The goal is that the research experiences will be impactful and ideally develop new skills and produce new knowledge that could sustain future NIDDK-funded research careers.
