The Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP) is sponsored by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRFI) partnered with the NIH to fund the provision of additional islets for basic research to be distributed through the NIH funded infrastructure of the IIDP through December 2011.
