Description
This funding opportunity supports the establishment of a Central Hub (CH) for the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP). The CH will coordinate the KPMP cohort, manage and de-identify all clinical data and biosamples, and provide scientific, infrastructure, quality control, project management, and administrative support. The CH will collaborate closely with Recruitment Sites (RS), Tissue Interrogation Sites (TIS), and the Kidney Tissue Atlas Coordinating Center (KTACC) to:
- Collect and evaluate kidney biopsies from acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) participants
- Create a comprehensive Kidney Tissue Atlas
- Define disease subgroups
- Identify key cells, pathways, and targets for new therapies
