About this program

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to advance the NIH mission by supporting the continuation of the Consortium to Study Chronic Kidney Disease of UnceRtain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities (CURE).Chronic Kidney Disease of Uncertain Etiology (CKDu) causes kidney failure in rural areas of many Low and Middle Income Countries, resulting in a large death toll among the young working age population. Environmental factors are suspected to be causative, but family and geographic clustering add consideration of unrecognized genetic susceptibility. The risk factors identified in other countries are encountered by U.S. patients, so this research will offer valuable insights into the development and progression of tubulointerstitial renal diseases, with broad implications for understanding kidney health and disease in the U.S.NIDDK, NIEHS, and FIC have jointly funded a consortium that includes Field Epidemiology Sites, a Renal and Environmental Science Core, and a Data Coordinating Center to find causes and potential interventions for CKDu since 2021. This NOFO requests renewal applications for the Field Epidemiology Sites that will continue to identify, recruit, and retain participants in CKDu endemic areas, conduct study visits, and collect biological and environmental samples. Consortium members will continue to collaborate to maximize scientific opportunities and enable discovery science to understand the etiologies of CKDu, the exposures that initiate and affect progression of tubulointerstitial kidney disease, potential therapeutic targets, and future opportunities for public health interventions. The CURE Consortium will serve as a resource for ancillary studies. This is a forecast for a limited competition Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) that will invite application(s) from eligible organizations to apply. Application(s) will be peer-reviewed and only funded if meritorious.
