Description

This funding opportunity supports the continuation of the Consortium to Study Chronic Kidney Disease of UnceRtain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities (CURE). The research aims to understand the causes and progression of CKDu, a kidney disease affecting rural populations in low and middle income countries, with implications for kidney health in the U.S. The Renal and Environmental Science Core will provide support and leadership in discovery science, collaborating with consortium members to identify etiologies, exposures, therapeutic targets, and public health interventions. This is a forecast for a single source Notice of Funding Opportunity inviting applications from eligible organizations.
