HHS-NIH11 Posted RFA-DK-27-146

Description

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support research addressing barriers that limit progress toward more effective open- and closed-loop diabetes control systems. This may include research that addresses: 1) innovation of sensing relevant analytes/physiologic signals; 2) novel formulation and delivery of hormones; 3) artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML)-driven tools/algorithms; and 4) digital twin modeling to augment decision support and automated control systems with the goal of improving glycemic control, reducing burden of care, and enhancing quality of life of people with T1D].This NOFO is associated with the Special Diabetes Program (https://www.niddk.nih.gov/about-niddk/research-areas/diabetes/type-1-diabetes-special-statutory-funding-program/about-special-diabetes-program) which funds research on the prevention, treatment, and cure of type 1 diabetes and its complications, including unique, innovative, and collaborative research consortia and clinical trials networks
