This grant comes from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Diseases<\/a>, a department within the National Institutes of Health. Diabetes research has become an increased focus for grant-making institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibr.hawaii.edu\/343-2\/alika-maunakea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Alika Maunakea<\/a> will be leading the research team at the University of Hawaii that will study the nature of this disease among these two indigenous populations. Maunakea and his team will be recruiting Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders between the ages of 20 and 50 for the research study. The team will collect data and samples from healthy, pre-diabetic and diabetic participants. This will enable them to monitor and analyze the data and potentially affect the long-term health of these communities. Considering the health complications that can result from diabetes, as the risk of amputation, kidney failure, or even death, this kind of diabetes research is imperative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Part of our mission is really to understand what drives these disparities so we can ultimately restore health equity. It\u2019s been a challenge getting this through, but we\u2019re so excited about it and looking forward to starting the study,&#8221; Maunakea told Hawaii Public Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diabetes Risks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/diabetes\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20371444\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>, the risks associated with diabetes are substantial. Complications from untreated diabetes can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cardiovascular disease<\/li><li>Eye damage (retinopathy)<\/li><li>Nerve damage (neuropathy)<\/li><li>Foot damage<\/li><li>Kidney damage (nephropathy)<\/li><li>Skin conditions <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the short or long term, diabetes is a disease that requires treatment and study. If left without treatment, there is a risk of complications leading to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Dr. Maunakea, this is the first study of its kind. This research will be the first epigenome and microbiome study to include relatively young members of these populations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>GrantNews Notes <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/173487\/grants-to-usa-canada-and-international-organizations-for-diabetes-advocacy-care-and-prevention-in-developing-countries.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch has a grant listed for USA, Canada, and International Organizations for diabetes advocacy, care, and prevention in developing countries<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch<\/a> hosts two relevant categories for grant-seekers looking for similar projects.
