This $480,845 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research supports research to investigate how angiotensin II disrupts myeloid cells in type 2 diabetes, leading to peripheral neuropathy, sensory loss, and chronic pain. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the awardee, will utilize preclinical models, behavioral studies, imaging, and...
This $1,695,959 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), will fund research at the University of Illinois to evaluate the use of gadolinium-free functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as a non-invasive method to identify high-risk phenotypes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study will enroll 420 participants from the...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding of $892,433, was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The objective of this research project is to provide a more detailed understanding of how upstream eicosanoid pathways can be variably active, imbalanced, and perturbed in relation to an individual's propensity for developing not only progressive...
This $577,420 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), aims to provide a mechanistic framework for understanding the physiology of the upper urinary tract. The research, conducted by Weill Medical College of Cornell University, will use a novel mouse model to define the transcriptional signaling mechanisms and protein complexes required for...
This $199,922 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), aims to investigate the role of iron homeostasis in kidney fibrosis and disease progression for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The award will be used by the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, the prime recipient, to conduct studies exploring the mechanisms by which...
This $464,446 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to investigate the mechanisms of acute kidney injury associated with mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients. The project aims to: 1) identify the physical changes in glomerular function that lead to decreased kidney filtration during mechanical...
This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) aims to improve the counseling and selection of living kidney donors. The research team at New York University School of Medicine will conduct a case-cohort study to identify novel genetic, clinical, social, and lifestyle risk factors that may increase the risk of end-stage kidney disease...
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $521,237 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The grant will fund a pilot, pragmatic, randomized trial to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential impact of integrating community health workers into an interdisciplinary chronic kidney disease clinic to address social determinants of...
The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded a $152,205 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of California San Francisco under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant funds research to investigate how vagal sensory neurons regulate autonomic responses to achieve metabolic homeostasis, and how downstream neuronal circuits in the nucleus tractus solitarius integrate...
This K01 career development grant, awarded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under CFDA 93.847 Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program, will provide $155,274 in funding to Emory University over a 4-year period starting September 1, 2024. The grant aims to support the development of the principal investigator, Dr. Jeong, into an independent clinical and translational investigator in geriatric nephrology. The research...
