Immune System Engineering For Targeted Tolerance in Type 1 Diabetes (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-17-020 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results in part from the autoimmune-mediated dysfunction or destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. This funding opportunity is for projects that seek to discover ways to change the course of the disease by directly establishing tolerance. Immune responses could be engineered for tolerance induction through the manipulation of antigens, cells, or cellular microenvironments.
