About this grant
The purpose of this NOFO is to continue the Physiology of the Weight Reduced State (POWERS) study. The goal of POWERS is to understand the physiological processes underlying individual variability in weight regain following weight loss. The continuation of POWERS will allow for the completion of the clinical trial and analysis of data and biospecimens.
Eligibility (from the notice)
NIDDK requests a Single Source competition for the Continuation of the Physiology of the Weight Reduced State (POWERS) Study at the University of Pittsburgh.
