Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation (SMHF) was established in 1974, with Mr. Ryoichi Sasakawa, founder and first chairman of the Nippon Foundation (TNF) as President, and Professor Morizo Ishidate, father of chemotherapy of Hansen''s Disease (HD) in Japan, as chair. The principal objective of SMHF is to eliminate HD, a disease which has struck fear into human beings for millennia and stigmatized those it touched. SMHF approaches HD not only as a public health problem but also as a social and human issue. Apart from HD, the work of SMHF covers many of issues within the realm of basic health needs. In doing so SMHF has always respected the ownership by the people, of their own health related needs. SMHF believes in sharing resources and knowledge, rather than creating a situation in which the ''haves'' give to the ''have-nots''. Through this we would like to share with you the joy of working together across national borders for the benefit of people in need. Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation provides grants to projects implemented by non-profit organizations based outside of Japan. Funding Areas: Hansen''s disease (HD), Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), and Palliative Care (For Japan based Applicants Only)

http://www.datacite.org/

Platform for storing, finding and accessing data that provides a service for data centres to mint DOIs and store associated metadata. Their goals are to establish easier access to scientific research data on the Internet, increase acceptance of research data as legitimate, citable contributions to the scientific record and support data archiving that will permit results to be verified and re-purposed for future study. DataCite is global, with member institutions offering services and advice directly where they are needed by the researchers. While datasets are shared and accessed globally, researchers work within national funding and organizational frameworks. It therefore operates globally, with national representation. The DataCite Metadata Scheme is a list of core metadata properties chosen for the accurate and consistent identification of data for citation and retrieval purposes, along with recommended use instructions.

Consortium aiming to accelerate the development of systems for automated control of blood glucose in patients with diabetes. Consortium investigators seek to research and develop strategies, which can be commercialized, that will confer the long-term benefits of improved glycemic control by combining novel automated control algorithms and hormone therapies with continuous glucose monitors and pump devices. The field of closed-loop artificial pancreas research requires expert diabetologists partnering with expert mathematicians and engineers. Consortium investigators include endocrinologists and control theorists at research institutions in the US and in Europe. Many of the diabetes device manufacturers have also participated, providing pumps and sensors with enhanced capabilities that allow for closed-loop experiments to be performed. The goals of the consortium include: * Design, optimization, and clinical testing of multiple algorithmic approaches to closed-loop control * An in silico simulation platform, accepted by the FDA, for validating candidate closed-loop control algorithms in place of animal trials * Reusable templates for constructing the Investigational Device Exemption regulatory documents that must be approved by the FDA prior to any in-clinic, computer-assisted, closed-loop control research involving people * A modular software platform-the Artificial Pancreas System-with a protocol-independent user interface and hooks to incorporate an arbitrary control algorithm and control various continuous glucose monitors and pump devices * A secure consortium Web site with a central repository for experimental data and interfaces to submit candidate control algorithms for centralized validation and to upload or download clinical data sets * the first outpatient studies of an overnight controller * the first outpatient studies of a hypoglycemia minimization strategy * the development and testing of a modular treat-to-range closed-loop approach * multiple studies of dual hormone (insulin and glucagon) devices and a means to improve insulin kinetics Ongoing and recently completed in-clinic studies at the end of 2011 include investigations into hypoglycemia prediction and avoidance as well as fully-automated closed-loop control investigations using MPC and PID/PD-based algorithms. The most recent developments include the first-ever feasibility trials of portable, outpatient-based closed-loop control systems.

Consortium aiming to identify the remaining genetic risk variants for Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). To increase the statistical power needed to identify genes that have small, yet significant contributions to AMD, the consortium is conducting a meta-analysis on 15 Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) pooled from consortium members representing over 8,000 patients with advanced AMD (dry type, neovascular, or both) and 50,000 controls. In addition to verifying known genes, the consortium identified 19 new gene variants. The genes identified in these studies function in the immune system, cholesterol transport and metabolism, and formation and maintenance of connective tissue. This study provides a nearly complete picture of genetic heritability for AMD.
