Heterogeneity of Fat Depots: Underlying Basis and Association with Morbidity (R01): -Purpose. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and the National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), invite investigator-initiated research projects to investigate the life cycle of adipocytes and other cell types present in various fat depots, such as macrophages, neurons, and endothelial cells. The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to increase our understanding of the interactions among the cell populations in order to identify biomarkers of changes in cellular physiology and metabolism brought on by the obese state, which are truly associated with the development of co-morbidities such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. The long term goal of this initiative is to identify markers of obesity associated with disease risk that could yield new targets for therapeutics to disrupt this link. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-06-187, that solicits applications under the Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
