This funding opportunity, issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), will support a coordinated, milestone-driven research project focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D). The goal is to leverage recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to integrate and analyze large, multimodal datasets from human pancreas and clinical studies, collected by major T1D research consortia. By combining these complementary datasets, the project aims to generate new insights into T1D biology, understand disease heterogeneity and progression, identify biomarkers, and inform new approaches for prevention, intervention, and treatment. Key aims include the development and testing of advanced multimodal AI models, new data integration methods, AI-enabled research workflows, and privacy-preserving synthetic datasets. Clinical trials are not allowed under this opportunity.
