dkNET Webinar "The Mission and Progress of the(sugar)science: Helping Scientists Who Study Type 1 Diabetes Connect"
Presenters:
Monica Westley, PhD, Founder, the(sugar)science
Tiffany Richardson
Neha Majety
Abstract
The(sugar)science was launched two years ago with the aim of helping scientists who study type 1 diabetes (T1D) and related interdisciplinary fields connect globally. We also wanted to create a digital space where trainees in the field can be supported, celebrated and connected to future positions. As part of our mission, our all volunteer team created the State of the Science series (2021. 2022), connecting global thought leaders around T1D research topics for discussion with a larger scientific audience. The second State of Science series was led by women scientists following the ADA publication which highlighted the paucity of women scientists in the leadership positions in the field.
To encourage the scientific community at large to dive into pre-existing data and pull out novel hypotheses that pertain to T1D, we created and together with dkNET, hosted D-Challenge 2021 and 2022. These competitions awarded $40K and $50K respectively to those who mined data and developed the most creative and testable hypothesis as judged by scientific experts in the field. These teams were also able to have an audience with the JDRFT1D Fund as part of a "pitch polish" which facilitated their interaction with venture capital.
To date, we have hosted over 200 interviews with T1D focused scientists in academia and industry and have an audience of 35K. Our reach on social media continues to grow and our metrics indicate a robust following. We share opportunities for positions in the field, engage and support trainees and together, our young scientific team published a paper, Similarities between bacterial GAD and human GAD65: Implications in gut mediated autoimmune type 1 diabetes, PLOS, February 2022.
We are currently engaged in the build of a T1D TCR Repository. We connected the AIRR data commons community with top TCR scientists in the field to begin this community based venture. It has the possibility to be incredibly instructive in defining the prodrome , which will further inform the field as it pertains to understanding the etiology of T1D.
Current team members that will join the discussion today will be Neha Mejety, Johns Hopkins University undergraduate and Tiffany Richardson, doctoral degree candidate at VUMC Diabetes.
The top 3 key questions that the(sugar)science can answer:
1. How can I find scientists to collaborate with in Type 1 diabetes research?
2. Where can I learn about Type 1 diabetes trending topics?
3. Where can I find forums to discuss novel ideas with scientists or key opinion leaders and find opportunities for Type 1 diabetes research.

Funding Opportunities Information and Deadlines in December 2022
Dec. 01, 2022
NIDDK Funding Opportunity Application Due: Funding Opportunity TitleNational Coordinating Center for the George M. O’Brien Kidney National Resource Centers (U24 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Application Deadline: December 1, 2022
More Information: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/rfa-dk-22-008.html
Dec. 05, 2022
NIH Funding Opportunity Application Due: Maternal Health Research Centers of Excellence Data Innovation and Coordinating Hub/Resource Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks applications for the Data Innovation and Coordinating Hub/Resource Center (hereafter referred to as “the Innovation Hub”) for the Maternal Health Research Centers of Excellence initiative. This FOA runs in parallel with companion FOAs that seek applications for Research Centers of Excellence (RFA-HD-23-035) and an Implementation Science Hub/Resource Center (RFA-HD-23-037).
It is expected that the Data Innovation Hub will provide 1) a coordination infrastructure to foster communication and collaboration for participating Research Centers and the Implementation Science Hub under the Maternal Health Centers of Excellence initiative, 2) Support data collection, facilitate data curation, and ensure high-quality data is shared with Centers of Excellence researchers and submitted to public repositories when appropriate, and 3) provide cutting edge biomedical research informatics and data science expertise to maximize data comparability and facilitate data harmonization. The Data Innovation Hub itself will not generate new experimental data, but rather will serve as a resource, analysis tools, and portal for available analytical and data tools.
Application Deadline: December 5, 2022
More Information: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/rfa-hd-23-036.html
Dec. 05, 2022
NIH Funding Opportunity Application Due: Maternal Health Research Centers of Excellence Implementation Science Hub/Resource Center (U24 Clinical Trial Optional)
It is expected that the Implementation Science Hub will serve as a resource to Research Centers, with a particular emphasis on assisting in implementing evidence-informed programs, practices and policies to improve maternal health outcomes. The Implementation Science Hub will help bridge the evidence-to-practice gap to support the development and implementation of strategies to inform integrated efforts involving policy and practice changes to improve pregnancy, perinatal, and postpartum care and advance maternal health and maternal health equity. It is also expected that the Implementation Science/Resource Hub work collaboratively with the Data Innovation and Coordination Hub/Resource Center.
Application Deadline: December 5, 2022

Dec. 05, 2022
NIH Funding Opportunity Application Due: Maternal Health Research Centers of Excellence (U54 Clinical Trial Optional)
This initiative will use an integrated multi-level approach encompassing structural, social, and biobehavioral research strategies to address the multiple contributing factors that lead to adverse maternal health outcomes and health disparities. Significant contributing factors include comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, chronic stress, immune-mediated diseases, sleep disorders, organ-specific diseases, mental illness, and substance use disorders) and structural and social determinants of health, which include but not limited to structural racism and health care system factors.
Application Deadline: December 5, 2022

Application Deadline: AFDHAL / MCHUTCHISON LIFER AWARD
The purpose of this two-year, $100,000 ($50,000/year) award is to foster career development for fellows performing clinical research and/or translational research in a liver-related area and who have shown commitment to excellence at an early stage of their research study. The award is intended to ensure that a significant portion of the investigators’ time is protected for research, with an overall objective of enabling the investigators to develop independent and productive research careers in liver disease.**International applicants who have been accepted into a fellowship position at a North American institution are strongly encouraged to apply.
