BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The T1D (Type 1 Diabetes) Exchange Biobank, or “Biobank”, is a collection of thousands of stored samples from participants in various T1D Exchange (T1DX) clinical studies. The Biobank was created to aid investigators doing T1D research by distributing biosamples collected from people with T1D to the research community. In 2020, the Biobank was transferred from the T1D Exchange to the University of Florida (UF) Diabetes Institute through funding from JDRF with the original mission of the Biobank— to aid T1D research— unchanged. The purpose of this RFA is to solicit letters of intent (LOIs) from the T1D research community to obtain Biobank samples for use in research.
