Online Application |
| |
All investigators requesting islets must complete and submit an application to the
IIDP Coordinating
Center a
concise but thorough and informative description
of the specific objectives, methods associated with
the use of islets, rationale for the number of islets
requested and statistical methodologies to be employed.
If the islets are to be used for a project supported
by a NIH funded or other peer reviewed grant, this
should be noted. Provision of adequate
information for review will enhance the applicant’s
application. |
| |
|
| |
Peer-reviewed applications will be administratively reviewed by the IIDP staff.
For non-peer reviewed applications, on a monthly basis, a subcommittee of the
EEC will review all applications received by the first of each month and will
make recommendations based on the information submitted. All applicants will
be notified of approval and disapproval. If approved, applicants may then arrange
for subsequent receipt of islets from all or a specific IIDP center.

Special Services, Facilities, or Instruments
|
|
Integrated Islet Distribution Program Centers: Generate human
islet cells and perform relevant tests in facilities
compliant with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)/Good
Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines. The IIDP Coordinating
Center administers the project centers, collects data,
distributes islets through the Matching Algorithm for Islet
Distribution (MAID) providing a fair and equitable distribution
of islets, collects subscription fees from users and reimburses
IIDP centers for islet production to meet the goals of the IIDP.

Collaborative Studies
|
|
If you and a collaborator (or multiple collaborators) would like to receive the same islet offers and shipments, all of your studies can be linked. This will ensure that all collaborating studies have a chance to receive islets from the same islet isolation.
Please note, however, that all linked studies need to have complementary islet requirements otherwise the competing requests will prevent all linked studies from qualifying for the same offers. For example, if one study is seeking islets with purity 90% or higher, and the collaborating study is seeking islets of 50% to 75% purity, then both studies will never simultaneously qualify for the same offer, and both studies will miss the majority of available islet offers. If you have further questions about this collaborative option or would like to utilize this option, please email James Cravens at jcravens@coh.org.
