Funding Opportunity Purpose |
This FOA will support research on the development of biomarkers for the complications of type 1 diabetes that will use minimally or non-invasive measures of blood vessels and nerves in the eye. A critical obstacle for preventing and treating diabetes complications is the paucity of both biomarkers that can detect changes in blood vessels and nerves before clinical signs develop and surrogate end-points that can measure early responses to an intervention. Given the accessibility of the blood vessels and nerves in the eye for visualization, this FOA invites applications for research using the eye to visualize the development of diabetes complications in the eye and other tissues, such as the kidney, brain, heart and peripheral nerves. |

Type 1 diabetes causes damage to blood vessels that contributes to blindness, end-stage renal failure, nerve damage, amputations, cognitive impairment, heart attacks and strokes. Intensive glucose control can lessen the risk of these complications, but normal or even near-normal blood glucose values are not attainable for most individuals with diabetes. Interventions that would lessen the molecular and cellular impact of hyperglycemia could prevent or retard the development of complications, yet after decades of research, this therapeutic goal remains elusive.
A critical barrier for developing therapies for diabetes complications is the paucity of validated biomarkers that can report early tissue damage before it is clinically apparent and at a stage potentially more amendable for treatment. In addition, biomarkers are needed to measure an early response to an intervention and to serve as surrogate end-points for clinical outcomes that may take years to occur.
The eye has blood vessels in the retina and nerves in the cornea that are readily visualized. Fundus photographs and grading of the retina is the gold standard for measuring the presence and severity of diabetic retinopathy. Imaging of corneal nerves by confocal microscopy is an emerging biomarker for diabetic neuropathy. Given that diabetic complications are systemic, the blood vessels and nerves in the eye may allow us to see the development of diabetes complications not only in the retina, but also in tissues outside of the eye.
The purpose of this FOA is to invite applications for research on biomarker development for diabetes complications that would use non-invasive or minimally invasive measures of the blood vessels and nerves of the eye as markers for disease progression in the retina and tissues outside the eye.
This FOA seeks applications for research projects that use human subjects or data from human subjects. Research solely using animal models would not be responsive to this FOA. The research projects may be at the stage of translation of preclinical research into humans or the translation of a validated biomarker for another disease or condition to the detection and measurement of diabetes complications. The project may also optimize methods previously validated in humans to make them easily portable and achievable in eye clinics.
The biomarkers under study should be non-invasive imaging of the eye, which may include minimally invasive agents administered via routes such as the administration of eye drops or intravenous injection. Biomarkers that involve invasive procedures such as the removal of vitreous fluid would be considered non-responsive. The research projects may involve invasive testing, if it is used for the research purpose of determining the extent of diabetes complications in other tissues.
Research that involves longitudinal data on the progression and regression of the biomarker and diabetic complications is of high priority in order to establish the biomarker as a surrogate end-point. Clinical studies and ancillary studies to an ongoing clinical study can be proposed. If an ancillary study is proposed, either through new testing of individuals in the cohort or analysis of existing data, the proposed research must be outside the scope of the ongoing clinical study and a letter of approval from the executive committee of the clinical study has to be included in the application.
The application should clearly define how the proposed research furthers the development of the biomarker on a path leading to its clinical acceptance. If the research involves a comparison of the new biomarker with existing biomarkers, the choice of those tests and their strengths and weaknesses should be described. In addition, the application should provide justification for the clinical need of the proposed biomarker. A high priority will be given to projects that fill a unique need in the assessment of diabetes complications, rather than make incremental changes in the measurement or detection of a diabetes complication.
The project can include research and data on human subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but the biomarker must be relevant to patients with type 1 diabetes.
Appropriate research topics include, but are not limited to, those listed below.
Measurement of retinal vessels with provocative testing to determine changes in vascular responsiveness due to diabetes and their association with metabolic control or risk of diabetes complications.

Reviewers will provide an overall impact score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Significance
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field? Does this biomarker have the potential to detect early stages of diabetes complications? Is it associated with clinical endpoints? If the project is successfully completed, will it make a significant advance in the development and validation of the biomarker?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD/PI, do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project?
Innovation
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Approach
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses
well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project?
Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success
presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the
strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be managed?
If the research involves a comparison of the proposed biomarker with existing
biomarkers and outcomes, are those biomarkers and outcomes the best choice for
evaluating the new biomarker given the current state of knowledge for a
particular diabetes complication?
If the project involves human subjects and/or NIH-defined clinical research,
are the plans to address 1) the protection of human subjects from research
risks, and 2) inclusion (or exclusion) of individuals on the basis of
sex/gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as the inclusion or exclusion of
children, justified in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy
proposed?
Environment
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data and
safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46,
the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human
subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For
additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to
the Guidelines
for the Review of Human Subjects.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves human subjects and/or NIH-defined clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for the inclusion (or exclusion) of individuals on the basis of sex/gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as the inclusion (or exclusion) of children to determine if it is justified in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Guidelines for the Review of Inclusion in Clinical Research.
Vertebrate Animals
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
