This $166,643 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) supports the development of robust phenotyping pipelines for early detection of collagen type IV-associated nephropathy (COL4A-AN) using electronic health records (EHR) data. The primary goal is to establish scalable phenotyping methods that leverage natural language processing (NLP) and...
This federal Project Grant award of $671,986 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research to strengthen the evidence-base for medication prescribing in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The primary objectives are to: 1) Evaluate the effectiveness of renoprotective therapies, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and sodium-glucose...
This 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), is funding research to develop a deep learning model that can diagnose urinary tract obstruction in children with antenatal hydronephrosis more accurately than current clinical standards. The $155,011 award, with a project period from March 15, 2025 to January 31, 2030, aims to create a multimodal...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), funded under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), will provide $348,657 to the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute (HHRI) to develop a clinical decision support tool to assist nephrologists in evaluating kidney transplant candidates with a history of cancer. The project aims to: 1) estimate mortality risk in waitlisted kidney transplant...
