This $746,198 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 on the relationship between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in youth with type 2 diabetes. The award will leverage data from two existing NIDDK-funded longitudinal cohort studies to assess how PFAS exposure...
This $490,620 Project Grant was 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). The grant will fund research at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the role of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). The primary objectives are to: Determine the mechanism by which the PERK stress sensor within the UPR pathway...
This $531,999 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 into the role of alternative splicing in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) at The Washington University. The key objectives are to: 1) Define and validate the spectrum of alternative splicing in DKD and response to sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i)...
The federal Project Grant award F31DK136312, totaling $128,286.00, was 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). The grant aims to uncover the underlying cellular mechanisms that contribute to the effects of free fatty acid-induced lipotoxicity in kidney tubular epithelial cells and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The research will be...

This $142,902 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 uncover the mechanisms by which the regulatory GTPase protein ARL13B drives kidney cyst formation in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). The research, led by Dr. Van Sciver at Emory University, aims to identify the critical interactions between ARL13B and three key...

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 focused on determining the protective role of the transcription factor KLF2 in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and developing KLF2 agonists as potential treatments. The total award amount is $2,202,378, with a performance period from September 20, 2024, to May 31, 2029.

The key objectives of this award are to: 1) determine how KLF2 is regulated in diabetic conditions, 2) elucidate how KLF2 protects against glomerular endothelial cell (GEC) injury and progression of DKD, and 3) investigate whether KLF2 agonists could be developed as a novel treatment for DKD. The project includes a sub-award to the University of Buffalo, where Dr. Bhaskar Das will focus on the drug discovery and development aspects of KLF2 agonists. This research aims to ultimately provide new therapeutic options for patients with DKD and co-occurring cardiovascular disease.
