A compilation and assessment of epidemiologic, public health, and clinical data on diabetes and its complications in the United States. Published by the National Diabetes Data Group of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the book contains 36 chapters organized in five areas: * the descriptive epidemiology of diabetes in the United States based on national surveys and community-based studies, including prevalence, incidence, sociodemographic and metabolic characteristics, risk factors for developing diabetes, and mortality * the myriad complications that affect patients with diabetes * characteristics of therapy and medical care for diabetes * economic aspects, including health insurance and health care costs * diabetes in special populations, including African Americans, Hispanics, Asian and Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and pregnant women. Diabetes in America, 2nd Edition, has been designed to serve as a reliable scientific resource for assessing the scope and impact of diabetes and its complications, determining health policy and priorities in diabetes, and identifying areas of need in research. The intended audience includes health policy makers at the local and Federal levels who need a sound quantitative base of knowledge to use in decision making; clinicians who need to know the probability that their patients will develop diabetes and the prognosis of the disease for complications and premature mortality; persons with diabetes and their families who need sound information on which to make decisions about their life with diabetes; and the research community which needs to identify areas where important scientific knowledge is lacking.

To carry out this mission, NKUDIC works closely with a coordinating panel of representatives from Federal agencies; voluntary organizations on the national level; professional groups; and State health departments to identify and respond to informational needs about kidney and urologic diseases. NKUDIC provides the following informational products and services: * Response to inquiries about kidney and urologic diseases-ranging from information about available patient and professional education materials to statistical data. By phone (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. eastern time, M-F), fax, mail, and email. * Publications about specific kidney and urologic diseases, provided free of copyright, in varying reading levels. Available online or as booklets and brochures. (See our Publications Catalog.) NKUDIC also sends publications to health fairs and community events. Please contact us for more information. * Referrals to health professionals through the National Library of Medicine''''s MEDLINEplus includes a consumer-friendly listing of organizations that will assist you in your search for physicians and other health professionals. * Exhibits at professional meetings specific to kidney and urologic diseases, as well as cross-cutting professional meetings. NKUDIC exhibits at 11 professional meetings, each year, including Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates, American Urologic Association, American Society of Nephrology, National Kidney Foundation, Polycystic Kidney Disease Research Foundation, American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Physician Assistants, American Nurses Association, and the National Conference for Nurse Practitioners.

http://www.cidr.jhmi.edu/

Next generation sequencing and genotyping services provided to investigators working to discover genes that contribute to disease. On-site statistical geneticists provide insight into analysis issues as they relate to study design, data production and quality control. In addition, CIDR has a consulting agreement with the University of Washington Genetics Coordinating Center (GCC) to provide statistical and analytical support, most predominantly in the areas of GWAS data cleaning and methods development. Completed studies encompass over 175 phenotypes across 530 projects and 620,000 samples. The impact is evidenced by over 380 peer-reviewed papers published in 100 journals. Three pathways exist to access the CIDR genotyping facility: * NIH CIDR Program: The CIDR contract is funded by 14 NIH Institutes and provides genotyping and statistical genetic services to investigators approved for access through competitive peer review. An application is required for projects supported by the NIH CIDR Program. * The HTS Facility: The High Throughput Sequencing Facility, part of the Johns Hopkins Genetic Resources Core Facility, provides next generation sequencing services to internal JHU investigators and external scientists on a fee-for-service basis. * The JHU SNP Center: The SNP Center, part of the Johns Hopkins Genetic Resources Core Facility, provides genotyping to internal JHU investigators and external scientists on a fee-for-service basis. Data computation service is included to cover the statistical genetics services provided for investigators seeking to identify genes that contribute to human disease. Human Genotyping Services include SNP Genome Wide Association Studies, SNP Linkage Scans, Custom SNP Studies, Cancer Panel, MHC Panels, and Methylation Profiling. Mouse Genotyping Services include SNP Scans and Custom SNP Studies.

A consortium whose overall goal is to identify effective behavioral and lifestyle interventions that will improve weight, glycemic control and other pregnancy-related outcomes in obese and overweight pregnant women, and determine whether these interventions reduce obesity and metabolic abnormalities in their children. The study/consortium is comprised of seven clinical centers, with each clinical center conducting its own trial. Additional information on the consortium and individual trials is located in the Consortium Summaries tab.

https://www.rebuildingakidney.org

A consortium of research projects working to optimize approaches for the isolation, expansion, and differentiation of appropriate kidney cell types and their integration into complex structures that replicate human kidney function. Their goal is to coordinate and integrate research to support the development and implementation of strategies such as de novo repair of nephrons, the re-generation of nephrons, and the in vitro engineering of a biological kidney to enhance renal repair and promote the generation of new nephrons in the postnatal organ. Investigators may apply for funding of a kidney-related project through the RBK Partnership Project. Funded projects would join the consortium.
