This National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) grant invites applications for a Scientific Data Coordinating Center (SDCC) to support the new CURE (Chronic Kidney Disease of Uncertain Etiology in Agricultural Communities) Research Consortium. The SDCC will provide scientific guidance, develop epidemiologic study protocols, and manage data and analysis for the consortium. This grant is for establishing a central hub to facilitate collaborative discovery science aimed at understanding CKDu causes, progression, and identifying potential therapeutic targets and public health interventions. The consortium will develop common protocols for evaluating participants, biological sampling, and environmental assessments, utilizing components like field sites and the NIEHS Human Health Exposure Analysis Resource. It focuses exclusively on human studies, excluding intervention trials or animal models.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for a Scientific Data Coordinating Center (SDCC) to support and provide scientific guidance as part of the new consortium to study Chronic Kidney Disease of UnceRtain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities (CURE). The SDCC will guide the consortium as it develops protocols for epidemiologic studies. It 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, Field Sites, a Renal Analytic Core and the NIEHS Human Health Exposure Analysis Resource (HHEAR). The consortium will work together to develop common protocols for evaluation of participants who are currently affected with early manifestations of CKDu and control participants, to define common strategies for biological sampling and environmental assessment, and to determine analytic strategies to best use the samples collected by the consortium. This FOA will not support intervention trials to prevent or treat CKDu. This FOA is intended to support only human studies and applications that include animal or model systems are not responsive. |
