Description

This funding opportunity supports the continuation of the Consortium to Study Chronic Kidney Disease of UnceRtain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities (CURE). The consortium includes Field Epidemiology Sites that identify, recruit, and retain participants in CKDu endemic areas, conduct study visits, and collect biological and environmental samples. The research aims to understand the causes and progression of CKDu, a disease causing kidney failure in rural areas of many Low and Middle Income Countries, with implications for kidney health in the U.S. The consortium also serves as a resource for ancillary studies.
