NOTICE OF LIMITED COMPETITION - POST-DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM (DPP) FOLLOW-UP STUDIES Release Date: April 23, 2001 NOTICE: NOT-DK-01-013 National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (http://www.niddk.nih.gov/) The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is announcing a limited competition for competing applications from NIDDK- designated Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Clinical Centers and the DPP Coordinating Center. The DPP is a multicenter controlled clinical trial examining the efficacy of an intensive life-style intervention or metformin to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes in a population at risk due to the presence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). This post-DPP follow-up study is intended to enable DPP investigators to continue a long-term follow-up of the DPP cohort. The DPP cohort, including 45% minorities, is the largest population of individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) ever to be studied. The DPP Clinical Centers and the DPP Coordinating Center possess the infrastructure, organization, leadership, staffing and randomized cohort of volunteers to address clinically important research questions that will remain following study end. NIDDK staff will contact the current grantees directly regarding application procedures and format. INQUIRIES Inquiries are encouraged, and the opportunity to clarify issues and answer questions is welcome. Inquiries may be directed to: Sanford A.
