Drug Induced Liver Injury Network (DILIN) RRID: SCR_001524
To promote research on the causes of drug-induced liver disease, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has created the Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network (DILIN). Its purpose is to collect and carefully analyze cases of liver problems caused by prescription drugs and alternative medicines, such as herbal products.
Genetics of Kidneys in Diabetes Study (GoKinD) RRID: SCR_000133
The fundamental aim of GoKinD is to facilitate investigator-driven research into the genetic basis of diabetic nephropathy by collecting, storing, and distributing genetic samples from cases and controls of type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.
Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) RRID: SCR_014393
HIRN’s mission is to better understand how human beta cells are lost in Type 1 Diabetes and to find innovative strategies to protect or replace functional beta cell mass in diabetic patients. HIRN was established in 2014 to help organize and support collaborative research related to the loss of functional beta cell mass in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The project consists of four independent research initiatives: CBDS, CHIB, CMAI and CTAR.
Human Pancreas Analysis Program (HPAP) RRID: SCR_016202
Human Pancreas Analysis Program (HPAP) is performing deep phenotyping of the human endocrine pancreas and its interaction with the immune system, to better understand the cellular and molecular events that precede and lead to the beta cell loss in Type-1 Diabetes (T1D). The National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) supports HPAP through multiple NIH grants.
Immune Tolerance Network (ITN) RRID: SCR_001535
The ITN is an international consortium of scientists and physicians dedicated to the clinical evaluation of novel tolerogenic approaches for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, asthma and allergic diseases, and the prevention of graft rejection.
Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP) RRID: SCR_014387
The IIDP mission is to distribute high quality human islets to the diabetes research community, in order to advance scientific discoveries and translational medicine. Pivotal to IIDP’s mission is providing reliable, high quality resources to the research community from industry-leading Islet Isolation Centers (IICs).
International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) RRID: SCR_006158
The goal of the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) is to discover functional insight for every gene by generating and systematically phenotyping 20,000 knockout mouse strains. The IMPC is generating a knockout mouse strain for every protein coding gene by using the embryonic stem cell resource generated by the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC).
Knockout Mouse Project Repository (KOMP) RRID: SCR_007318
The Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Center (MMRRC) acquired the genetically-altered mice and embryonic stem (ES) cells made as part of the NIH Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP) and previously maintained in the KOMP Repository. The KOMP Repository collection at MMRRC will provide investigators with the convenience of a one-stop portal to one of the largest inventories of mutant mouse strains and ES cell lines available to the biomedical research community.
Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC) RRID: SCR_008997
Our mission is to advance medical and biological research by providing the scientific community with standardized, high quality metabolic and physiologic phenotyping services for mouse models of diabetes, diabetic complications, obesity and related disorders. The six Centers are housed at outstanding academic institutions, staffed by experts in state-of-the-art technology. Researchers can ship mice to one of the Centers and obtain on a fee-for-service basis a range of complex exams used to characterize mouse metabolism and blood composition.
