Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	The Chronic Kidney Disease Biomarkers Consortium [CKD BioCon] was established in September 2009 as a result of RFA-DK-08-015 [Chronic Kidney Disease Biomarker Discovery and Validation Consortium (U01)] to develop, validate and qualify biomarkers based on existing biosamples from well-characterized CKD patients with longitudinal follow-up. The CKD BioCon consists of six Participating Centers (PCs) and is actively engaged in multiple research protocols. The initial Funding Opportunity Announcement to establish the Consortium did not provide for a Data Coordinating Center (DCC). Given the complexity of the work to be performed by the consortium, a study coordination group was established through a subcontract to one of the PCs to provide logistical support and coordination of consortial meetings. However, the expertise needed to coordinate multicenter studies and perform advanced statistical analyses is limited.
