The IIDP–HIPP integrates a broad spectrum of islet phenotypic features with donor characteristics. (a) Analysis workflow performed by the HIPP on human islets from each IIDP-supported islet isolation. Human islets from the same preparation are distributed to HIPP and IIDP-affiliated investigators. (b) The IIDP–HIPP database contains data from a large and demographically diverse pool of islet donors. Shown is the racial background of islet donors for 198 preparations analysed by HIPP since 2016. (c) Steps required for automated publication checklist generation from the IIDP Data Center. The IIDP–HIPP database and the automated online tool for checklist generation can be accessed by authorised IIDP users through the dashboard of the IIDP password-protected website (https://iidp.coh.org/secure/isletavail/)
