NIH Websites Are Changing

Beginning in late July, NIH will start introducing a new website experience designed to make it easier to find health information, research, funding opportunities, and other resources. During the transition, you may notice changes to navigation, page layouts, and where some information is located. Learn more in our Frequently Asked Questions.

Executive Summary

The purpose of this program is to continue to support nationally accessible centers that provide core services or programs of relevance to the NIDDK research communities focusing on metabolism, diabetes, nutrition and obesity. These Center programs include the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC) Consortium, the Center for Engagement in Diabetes Research (CEDER) program, and the Nutrition Obesity Research Centers Research Resource Center (RRC). These Centers are designed to improve rigor, reproducibility, efficiency, coordination, outreach, career development, and/or access to advanced capabilities for researchers across NIDDK research community. Applications may include an optional Pilot and Feasibility Program when justified by programmatic need.
