RFA: In Vitro Disease Modeling — T1D-on-a-Chip Platforms

Supports in vitro disease modeling for type 1 diabetes using chip-based systems and translational experimental platforms.

ClosedBreakthrough T1DUnited States

Breakthrough T1D — formerly JDRF, rebranded June 2024 — issued this FY26 RFA titled "In Vitro Disease Modeling: Type 1 Diabetes-on-a-Chip Platforms" to solicit development of microfluidic organ-on-a-chip or microphysiological systems that replicate T1D-relevant biology in vitro. The scientific rationale is that conventional 2D cell culture and animal models fail to capture the complex multicellula

Development of microfluidic organ-on-a-chip or microphysiological platforms that replicate type 1 diabetes pathophysiology in vitro to advance disease modeling and therapy development.
