IMI2 has launched a call for Diabetic Kidney Disease Biomarkers (DKD-BM) including:
• Generating candidate biomarkers from existing clinical longitudinal databases, including the possibility that the studies generating these databases might be expanded by these efforts;
• Using these clinical biomarkers to assess preclinical model systems, and select the most appropriate for future translational investigations;
• Back-translating clinical database findings to develop improved in vitro and in vivo models of DKD
Incorporating these novel biomarkers into clinical trials in order to enhance the precision of application and chances of success of future novel therapeutics aimed at slowing and/or reversing this disease.

On Friday, October 10, 2014 JDRF will be hosting a public scientific workshop entitled “Defining the Early Stages of T1D” from 8:00am until 4:45pm, at the Hyatt Regency located in Bethesda, Maryland. At this event, leading scientific experts will present and discuss the current scientific understanding of the natural history of type 1 diabetes prior to the onset of symptomatic disease, inform clinical trial design, encourage the development of therapies for the early stages of type 1 diabetes, and aid regulatory decision-making.
The objectives of the workshop are to:
- Garner common understanding of current data on T1D risk detection, staging, and progression
- Discuss the design and optimization of intervention trials in the early stages of T1D
- Identify tools needed to improve staging and predict progression of T1D
- Discuss approaches to validate existing tools and develop new tools
If you are interested in attending this workshop please send an email to stagesoft1d@jdrf.org with your full name and email address. The deadline for registration is October 3, 2014. Registration is limited and we may reach capacity before this date. Thank you for your support and we hope to see you there!

Applications of 5 pages requesting up to $100,000 for one year are due May 16, 2014.
Current areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Interrogation of human samples or resources with genetics, systems biology, histology, etc.
- Use of human tissue to better define the histo-pathology and -morphometry of organs affected by systemic diabetes.
- Use human tissue to identify different molecular and anatomic “subtypes” of end-organ disease.
- Application of stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, and regenerative therapies to the repair and reversal of diabetic complications.
- Assessment of multiple complications in model systems (C.elegans, zebrafish, drosophila, etc).
- Pilot studies to assess the role of the microbiome or virome in diabetic complications.
- Testing the role of genes or loci that arise from ongoing human genetics/sequencing efforts.
- New approaches to identify genetic or epigenetic alterations associated with susceptibility to or protection from diabetic complications.
- Use of relevant model systems to accelerate gene X environment (GEI) studies.
- Pilot studies to determine if epigenetic changes in circulating cells (like pbmc’s) reflect meaningful changes in tissues or organs affected by complications.
- Linking and coordination of existing databases relevant to complications research.
- Pilot studies demonstrating the feasibility of pre-consenting existing cohorts for tissue collection or linking Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) to patient samples.
- Innovative new studies to better define and understand diabetic wound healing in humans.
- Mechanistic and preclinical studies of chelation therapy (e.g. EDTA) in relevant models of complications.
- Studies defining the role of immune cells and inflammatory pathways in initiating, exacerbating, and/or potentially resolving diabetes-induced tissue damage in complications-prone end organs.

RFA DK-13-027 entitled Biomarkers for Diabetes Complications – Non-Invasive Measures in the Eye (DP3) was posted in the NIH Guide today. The receipt date is April 7, 2014.
The goal of the RFA is to advance research on biomarkers that are critically needed to detect early stages of diabetic complications and to serve as surrogate end-points in drug development, not only for diabetic retinopathy, but also for other diabetes complications.
The RFA uses the DP3 mechanism that allows funding for the entire project period in the first year of the grant award. Funding for the RFA is through the Type 1 Diabetes Special Funding Program. Please contact me if you have questions about the RFA.

Established T1D Clinical Research Roadmap, Paving a New Path; A White Paper sponsored by JDRF and The Helmsley Charitable Trust. Several factors have caused a shortfall in established type 1 diabetes (T1D) non-insulin clinical research, despite the fact that T1D is one of the more prevalent autoimmune diseases. New, emerging data could challenge the current thinking surrounding the potential for therapeutic interventions in people with established T1D. Based on these findings, a bolder approach to clinical research in people with established T1D is clearly warranted. Near-term clinical development opportunities in established T1D subjects are evident. Download the report.
