Dear dkNET Community,
dkNET provides updates on activities of interest to the NIDDK-supported community. You could keep up to date on these activities through our Twitter feed @dkNET_info, through our Community Calendar, or through dkNET e-mail list. If you have an event or funding opportunities you'd like to advertise, please contact us info_at_dknet.org.
dkNET Biomed Resource Reports is Released dkNET is excited to announce an exciting new service - Biomed Resource Watch (BRW, https://scicrunch.org/ResourceWatch), a knowledge base for aggregating and disseminating known problems and performance information about research resources such as antibodies, cell lines, and tools. With this tool, researchers can report their claims about a specific resource. If you missed the webinar, here are the recording and slides. Check out our blog article about BRW!
Congratulations to the 2023 dkNET Summer of Data Student Program Awardees! The summer program kicked off this month! This year we have 15 students from high school to graduate programs in the U.S.A. Our program teaches young researchers about dkNET and online resources, FAIR data, data management, and reproducibility skills to apply in their research projects!

- New Resources added to dkNET
- Diabetes Data and Hypothesis Hub (RRID:SCR_023629) is a platform that facilitates data-driven hypothesis generation for diabetes and related metabolic disorder research communities. Curated transcriptomics datasets from various Type 2 Diabetes studies are made available for download, visualization, and enrichment analysis.
- TargetRanger (RRID:SCR_023621) is a web server application that identifies targets from user-inputted RNA-seq samples collected from cells we wish to target. By comparing inputted samples with processed RNA-seq and proteomics data from several atlases, TargetRanger identifies genes that are highly expressed in target cells while lowly expressed across normal human cell types, tissues, and cell lines.
- GeneRanger (RRID:SCR_023622) is a web server application that provides access to processed data about expression of human genes and proteins across human cell types, tissues, and cell lines from several atlases. It is used to explore single gene expression across tissues and cell types.
- Kinase Enrichment Analysis 3 (RRID:SCR_023623) is a web server application that infers overrepresentation of upstream kinases whose putative substrates are in user inputted list of proteins. It is used to analyze data from phosphoproteomics and proteomics studies to predict upstream kinases responsible for observed differential phosphorylations.
- X2K Web (RRID:SCR_023624) is a web service to predict involvement of upstream cell signaling pathways, given signature of differentially expressed genes. It is used to link expression signatures to upstream cell signaling networks.
- White Adipose Atlas (RRID:SCR_023625) is a single-cell atlas of human and mouse white adipose tissue.
- TIGER Data Portal (RRID:SCR_023626) is a resource that enables integrative exploration of genetic and epigenetic basis of development of Type 2 Diabetes, together with other associated functional, molecular and clinical data, centered in biology and the role of pancreatic beta cells. The gene expression regulatory variation landscape of human pancreatic islets.
- Liver cell atlas (RRID:SCR_023627) is a portal to search liver single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets. It contains datasets for expression of genes or proteins (when CITE-seq was performed).
- IDF Diabetes Atlas (RRID:SCR_023628) is an atlas that aims to provide regular information on the state of diabetes. It contains reports, produced annually, epidemiological and diabetes-related impact data including the impact of type 2 diabetes in indigenous peoples, type 1 diabetes across all age groups, COVID-19 among people with diabetes, and diabetes foot-related complications.

NIDDK Workshop: Interventions for Pancreatitis: New Approaches, Knowledge Gaps, and Research Opportunities
Recent NIDDK Workshops have focused on the requirements for designing and conducting clinical trials in pancreatitis.The breadth and variety of currently planned or underway interventions include behavioral interventions, nutritional studies, studies with pharmacologic and biologic agents, and mechanical studies with endoscopy and surgery. This one-day workshop aims to inform investigators of new developments in the field and identify the knowledge gaps and research opportunities that might inform possible future funding initiatives for NIDDK.
Location: Pittsburgh, PA, USA

NIDDK Funding Opportunity First Available Due: Notice of Special Interest: Administrative Supplements to Support Collaborations to Improve Data Interoperability/Re-use for Existing Type 2 Diabetes Relevant Data Sets
The Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (DDEMD) in NIDDK currently supports numerous data rich projects designed to collect an array of human data types with the goal of understanding the heterogeneity and pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and to develop appropriate prevention and treatment strategies.
The goal of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to provide support through administrative supplements collaborations to improve interoperability/re-use for NIDDK supported T2D data sets and related resources such as repositories and knowledgebases. This initiative is aligned with the NIDDK Strategic Plan for Research, which describes research opportunities aimed at developing innovative technologies and resources to expand data science to advance scientific progress and enhance health, and to utilize data science to improve clinical studies.
This NOSI is soliciting administrative supplements from existing awardees funded by NIDDK's DDEMD. Projects are eligible to apply if they have at least one year of support remaining in the project period as of July 1, 2023. First Available Due Date: July 11, 2023.
