Description
This funding opportunity supports the Resource Center for the Cardiovascular Repository for Type 1 Diabetes (CaRe-T1D). The Resource Center's mission is to facilitate innovative, discovery-driven, and mechanistic research through the study of human cardiovascular tissue, specifically to understand cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with type 1 diabetes. The awardee will be responsible for expanding the CaRe-T1D biorepository, enhancing a data commons for sharing data and AI tool development, coordinating research activities within the CaRe-T1D consortium, and making resources accessible to the broader research community. The program is associated with the Special Diabetes Program, which funds research on the prevention, treatment, and cure of type 1 diabetes and its complications.
