The Common Fund is a unique funding entity at NIH, functioning as a “venture capital” space, where high-risk and innovative research can be supported. This led to the question, does research supported by the Common Fund generate more patents compared to the entire NIH research portfolio?

Researchers supported by the Common Fund Metabolomics program recently published a study in Nature Communications which highlights a new, noninvasive method to deliver stable isotopes to mice for metabolomics studies. Researchers were able to use a liquid diet to delivery 13C-Glucose to mice in a stress free manner.This new delivery method not only allows researchers to bypass the pitfalls of other delivery methods, such as alterations to metabolism due to anesthesia and/or physical trauma, but also study the turnover of biomolecules with longer half-lives, such as proteins or lipids. In addition, this method allows for the study of in vivo tumor models that highlight how the tumor micro-environment impacts cell metabolism.

HuBMAP held a technical assistance webinar on January 11, 2018 to provide an overview of HuBMAP, including information on funding opportunities available from the program (RFA-RM-17-025 and RFA-RM-17-027). NIH staff discussed the overall structure and goals of the HuBMAP and the specific FOAs, then answered questions from prospective applicants.
