This grant funds sites to recruit AKI and CKD patients for kidney biopsies and research, aiming to build a kidney tissue atlas and identify disease mechanisms and new therapy targets.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates: July 10, 2026
Funding Amounts: Up to $450,000 per award; estimated total program funding is $4,000,000; approximately 8 awards expected.
Summary: Supports recruitment sites to enroll individuals with acute and/or chronic kidney diseases into a longitudinal biopsy cohort for precision medicine research.
Description
This opportunity seeks applications for Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) Recruitment Sites (U01, Clinical Trial Not Allowed). The goal is to recruit and enroll individuals with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and/or Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) into a longitudinal biopsy cohort study. Emphasis is placed on enrolling underrepresented populations (such as those with AKI), comprehensive phenotyping, and innovative approaches including clinical biopsies with residual tissue for research, enhanced physiologic phenotyping, repeat biopsies, pediatric recruitment, and collection of healthy reference tissue. All KPMP personnel will participate in collaborative scientific discovery and promote open science.
