Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement invites applications for Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC).Member Centers of the MMPC consortium provide fee-for-service in-depth phenotyping tests for mouse models of diabetes, obesity, and related metabolic diseases or conditions.Services are provided with equal priority to investigators inside and outside the home institution, at similar cost.Mice and/or murine tissues can be shipped to MMPC facilities where standardized procedures are used to characterize metabolism, body composition, feeding behavior, physical activity, tissue pathology, brain and other organ function, microbiome, and other physiologic, anatomic or pathologic indices.MMPCs may also provide special mouse models for study at the Center or for distribution, such as mice that have undergone bariatric surgery or are valuable for studying the effects of microbiota on host metabolism.
