Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates: October 5, 2026 (forecasted)
Funding Amounts: Estimated total program funding: $4,000,000 | Expected number of awards: 7 | Cooperative Agreement (U01)
Summary: Supports recruitment sites for enrolling participants with acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease into a longitudinal cohort study involving research kidney biopsies.
Key Information: This is a forecasted opportunity; all dates are projections.
Description
This opportunity seeks applications for the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) Recruitment Sites. The funded sites will enroll participants with acute kidney injury (AKI) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD) into a longitudinal cohort study and conduct protocol-based research kidney biopsies. These Recruitment Sites will collaborate with other KPMP components—including Tissue Interrogation Sites, the Kidney Tissue Atlas Coordinating Center, and the Central Hub—to collect and analyze kidney tissue samples. The ultimate goal is to create a comprehensive Kidney Tissue Atlas, define disease subgroups, and identify critical cells, pathways, and targets for the development of novel therapies for kidney disease.
