# Coordinating Unit for DiaComp

> **NIH NIH U24** · AUGUSTA UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $678,750

## Abstract

Over the last 16 years, our group has successfully managed the coordinating unit (CU) for the NIDDK funded
Diabetic Complications Consortium (DiaComp 2001-present, formerly the Animal Models of Diabetic
Complications Consortium). DiaComp provides an environment to foster communications and collaborations
between investigator communities involved in diabetic complications research. Toward this goal, DiaComp
sponsors annual meetings in complications-relevant scientific areas, solicits and funds pilot projects in high
impact areas of complications research, and supports a website to serve the diabetic complications
community. During the previous five year funding cycle, the CU was responsible for continuing support for
DiaComp through the use of opportunity pools (funding), manage/maintain the website and phenotyping data
and administratively organize the meetings and workshops sponsored by the DiaComp to engage the greater
diabetic complications scientific community. Our laboratory has been the CU for DiaComp for the last 16
years. The CU is responsible for creating and maintaining the administrative, scientific and informatics
infrastructure necessary to organize and facilitate consortial operations. The goal of this proposal is to provide
that infrastructure. We will build upon the success of the current DiaComp CU infrastructure to provide
DiaComp with a robust and comprehensive service oriented solution that supports the unique aspects of this
consortium.
