The BRIDGES consortium, the first initiative of its kind funded by NIDDK, is designed to increase diversity and support early-career scientists from underrepresented backgrounds in securing research funding in nutrition, obesity, diabetes, and related fields. By providing tailored mentoring, career development, grant-writing support, and pilot funding across four leading programs nationwide, BRIDGES empowers the next generation of scientific leaders to drive innovation and address critical health disparities.

This study evaluates eight National One Health Strategic Plans using a mixed analytical approach, revealing varying degrees of alignment with core One Health principles and highlighting strengths and gaps to inform future initiatives. The framework combines qualitative, quantitative, and network analyses to assess content, terminology, and conceptual relationships within the plans.

This article presents a heat-pump-coupled sorbent system to simultaneously harvest water from air and regulate indoor environments, addressing global challenges related to water scarcity and energy-efficient air conditioning.

The article presents PI4AD, a computational medicine framework that integrates multi-omics data, systems biology, and artificial neural networks to prioritize therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's disease (AD). PI4AD recovers clinically validated targets like APP and ESR1, confirming its prioritization efficacy. The framework identifies Ras signaling as a central therapeutic hub, complementing traditional amyloid/tau-focused approaches. Crosstalk analysis reveals critical nodal genes (e.g., HRAS and MAPK1) and drug repurposing opportunities, bridging genetic insights with pathway-level biology.
