Project Grant R03DK139236
- This $843,457 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK, CFDA 93.847 Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research to evaluate the impact of an ABO-compatible kidney allocation policy on reducing organ non-use and improving access for disadvantaged kidney transplant candidates. The key objectives are to: (I) estimate the impact of ABO-compatible allocation on non-use rates and transplant outcomes, (II)...
- This $229,553 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) will fund a 2-year mixed methods research study at the University of California, Irvine to investigate non-clinical factors that impact post-donation follow-up care for living kidney donors. The study aims to understand how donor characteristics like education, income, insurance status, and geographic location...
- This federal Project Grant award of $842,633.00, 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), is focused on developing an optimal prehabilitation program for kidney transplant candidates on hemodialysis. The grant aims to elicit expert opinion to identify kidney transplant-specific prehabilitation components and strategies to enhance enrollment and adherence...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research, supports a 5-year, $193,652 research project to assess the impact of cognitive biases on patient and provider willingness to accept imperfect kidneys for transplantation. The project aims to characterize how status quo bias and bandwagon effects influence decision-making around accepting suboptimal but...
- This Project Grant award of $230,439 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) aims to develop and establish the content validity of a Kidney Transplant Evaluation Patient Reported Experience Measure (KTE-PREM). The award, with a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will involve a structured literature review, analysis of qualitative interview transcripts, and focus groups with patients, family members, and clinicians to...
- This Project Grant award of $430,252 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative multi-year research project examining the multi-sectoral determinants of health in low-income communities globally. The research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate the formulation, interpretation, translation, and implementation of health policies across local, national, and transnational scales. The project...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,500,424 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 support research to comprehensively characterize pretransplant operation strategies and local conditions across adult kidney transplant programs in the United States. The goal is to understand how certain pretransplant operation practices can impact patient access,...
- This $223,176 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 characterize the role of apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) copy number variations (CNVs) in kidney disease susceptibility among African Americans. The research, conducted by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) in Boston, MA, aims to: 1) develop a computational...
- This federal Project Grant award of $330,997.00 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 a study on a remote home-based rehabilitation intervention for kidney transplant candidates. The University of Pennsylvania will conduct this research project with the goal of improving physical activity, function, and reducing frailty in kidney transplant...
- This Project Grant award of $248,905, provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847), will support a study to implement and assess a social work-led screening and referral program to address social determinants of health, including food insecurity, among families of youth with Type 1 diabetes enrolled in California's Children's Services (CCS) program. The project aims to generate new knowledge on effective processes for identifying and addressing...
This $222,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) will support the development of a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) index for assessing access to transplantation services for end-stage liver and kidney disease patients. The project aims to create a robust and widely accepted measure of SDOH relevant to transplantation, as the current literature has primarily examined individual factors or adapted composite measures like the CDC's Social Vulnerability Index, which were not designed specifically for transplant outcomes. This award will enable the University of Alabama at Birmingham to conduct research to better understand the role of SDOH in access to transplantation services and develop an appropriate measurement tool to support equitable allocation of these critical healthcare resources.
