Limited Competition for the Continuation of the Clinical Centers for The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed )

This Limited Competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from the Program Directors/Principal Investigators of the six current Clinical Centers (CCs) for The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study, an ongoing epidemiological study of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) etiology. The TEDDY study involves the rigorous investigation of TEDDY subjects, collecting data and samples, for the identification of infectious agents, dietary factors, or other environmental factors associated with onset of T1D and/or T1D associated autoimmune markers. The six current CCs have been involved in study design and data and biosample acquisition since the inception of the TEDDY consortium. The CCs have recruited participants and followed the subjects over the past 15 years. In addition, the CCs have established effective and proficient collaborations with other components of TEDDY to carry out the studies to meet the objectives of this program. This FOA will support the CCs to allow them to continue to retain, follow clinically, and collect biosamples and data from TEDDY subjects.
