MMPCs are fee-for-service providers of in-depth phenotyping tests for mouse models of diabetes, obesity, and related metabolic diseases or conditions. Mice and/or their tissues are shipped to MMPC facilities where standardized procedures are used to characterize metabolism, body composition, feeding behavior, activity, tissue pathology, organ function, and other physiologic, anatomic or pathologic alterations. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the U24 award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of related scientific scope, RFA-DK-10-007, that solicits applications for the Coordinating and Bioinformatics Unit for the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers consortium (U24).
