Funding
The work was supported by funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme PEVNET (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement number 261441. Additional support was from a Diabetes Research Wellness Foundation Non-Clinical Research Fellowship to SJR and from Karolinska Institutet (KL), the Strategic Research Programme in Diabetes at Karolinska Institutet (MF-T) and the Swedish Research Council (MF-T). The research was also performed with the support of the Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes (nPOD), a collaborative type 1 diabetes research project sponsored by the JDRF and with a JDRF research grant awarded to the nPOD-V Consortium. Organ procurement organisations (OPO) partnering with nPOD to provide research resources are listed at www.jdrfnpod.org/our-partners.php.
