Description
This forecasted funding opportunity, issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), supports the continuation of the Consortium to Study Chronic Kidney Disease of Uncertain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities (CURE). The focus is the renewal of the Data Coordinating Center (DCC), which provides data management, analysis, and overall project coordination for the CURE Consortium. The consortium investigates environmental, genetic, and other risk factors contributing to CKDu, a disease responsible for significant kidney failure and mortality in rural areas of low- and middle-income countries, with implications for kidney health in the U.S. The DCC will facilitate collaboration among consortium members, maximize scientific opportunities, and support ancillary studies to identify etiologies, exposures, and potential public health interventions for CKDu.
