Description: The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and the Fogarty International Center (FIC) intend to promote a new initiative by publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to invite applications for research on Chronic Kidney Disease of Uncertain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities. Included in this initiative will be Field Sites to enroll research participants in the consortium to study Chronic Kidney Disease of UnceRtain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities (CURE). The Field Sites will identify, recruit and study participants with evidence of CKDu and appropriate controls, and collect biological and environmental samples at multiple visits over time.This collaborative research consortium will bring together a broad range of expertise and enable discovery science to understand the cause or causes of CKDu. 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 controls, 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 .This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.The FOA is expected to be published in Summer 2020 with an expected application due date in Fall 2020.This FOA will utilize the U01 activity code. Details of the planned FOA are provided below.
