NIDDK Workshop: Workshop on Best Practices for Studies of Diet and the Intestinal Microbiome
The purpose of this workshop is to improve rigor and reproducibility in research on the colonic microbiome, identify important dietary information that should be reported and parameters to consider in design of studies, particularly for clinical studies on diet and the intestinal microbiome. A summary for the research community will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Location: Bethesda, MD

Training Workshop: Microbiome Analysis in the Cloud
This is an advanced interactive workshop from leaders in the field of microbiome analysis. It will provide hands-on training in accessing cloud-based Human Microbiome Project data and utilizing Docker-based workflows to perform metagenome shotgun and 16S sequence analysis. Open source tools (e.g., HUMAnN, Qiime, MetaViz) will be utilized for multiple types of analyses including metabolic profiling, phylogenetic profiling, assembly, annotation, and data visualization. Attendees will leave the workshop with practical experience using a freely available Docker image they can take home and share with others or apply to their own studies.
Location: Baltimore, MD

Gordon Research Conference: Exocrine and Endocrine Pancreas: Molecules to Human
Despite the rapid advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in pancreatic development, regeneration, and malignant transformation, as well as our ability to model these processes in mice and recently also human cells, our ability to translate this knowledge into the clinical setting to benefit patients is still largely lacking. This relatively new GRC aims to link the understanding of the biology of the exocrine and endocrine pancreas to applications to human diseases. This GRC is unique in that it is the only conference that convenes experts from all aspects of pancreas biology as well as clinicians working on translational approaches for various pancreatic diseases, including pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis and diabetes. By providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting edge, unpublished concepts and approaches, the goal of this GRC is to stimulate discussion across fields and disciplines. This exchange will foster interdisciplina

Funding opportunities information and deadlines in June, 2017
June 1, 2017
Funding application quarterly deadline: MMPC MICROMouse Program
MICROMouse will fund high impact technology-, physiology-, or biology-based projects conceived through interaction with, or between MMPCs. Proposal objectives should take clear advantage of collaborations with MMPCs to address questions that would be otherwise difficult to answer. Objectives of the MICROMmouse initiative encompasses pilot and feasibility projects for the development of new mouse phenotyping tests, as well as research-driven projects that investigate biology and physiology of disease.The aim of the MICROMouse program is to promote the development of mouse phenotyping technology and encourage collaborative relationships between the MMPC and its users. These are 1 year awards intended to fund the development of research opportunities that may arise during the course of a service provided by the MMPC or to expand on research interests common to a MMPC user and a MMPC principal investigator. These awards cannot be used simply to purchase services from an MMPC. There is no formal deadline associated with MICROMouse applications, but applications will be reviewed quarterly (March 1, June 1, September 1, December 1) and so should be submitted accordingly. A letter of intent with a brief (2-3 sentences) description of the proposed project must be sent to Dr. Richard McIndoe at rmcindoe@gru.ed
