FOA-Chronic Kidney Diseases of UnceRtain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities (CURE) Research Consortium - Scientific Data Coordinating Center (SDCC) (U24 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed); November 10, 2020

 

Agency:

NIH

 

Description:

This Funding Opportunity Announcement invites applications for a Scientific Data Coordinating Center (SDCC) which will lead a new consortium, Chronic Kidney Disease of UnceRtain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities (CURE), in the development and successful execution of study designs and protocols. The SDCC will provide data management and analysis, as well as overall project management for the Consortium.

This collaborative research consortium will bring together a broad range of expertise and enable discovery science to understand the cause or causes of CKDu and disease progression. The Consortium will also work to identify potential therapeutic targets and public health interventions. The Consortium will consist of a Scientific Data Coordinating Center (SDCC), Field Epidemiology Sites (FES), a Renal Science Core (RSC), and the Human Health Exposure Analysis Resource (HHEAR). The Consortium will work together to finalize ethical epidemiology research designs, execute common strategies for biological sampling and environmental assessment, apply the best analytic strategies for collected samples and data, and disseminate results to the global research and public health communities. The final design of the study, as determined by the Steering Committee, may significantly vary from individual applications. It is required that all funded sites fully abide with the final harmonized design set by the Consortium Steering Committee.

This FOA will not support clinical trials or intervention trials. This FOA is intended to support only human studies; applications that include animal or model systems are not responsive.
