Project Grant R03DK144285
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $739,540 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York for the development and validation of a third-generation polygenic score (GPS) for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal is to improve personalized risk prediction and accelerate the clinical implementation of polygenic prediction in...
- 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 $128,286 Project Grant award, 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), will support research into the mechanisms of renal lipotoxicity and its contribution to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The principal investigator will investigate the protective role of the FAF2 gene knockout in mitigating palmitate-induced lipotoxicity in...
- This $882,180 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 support a comprehensive research effort to analyze the largest dataset of rare genetic variants associated with diabetes. The Broad Institute, Inc. will lead this project to assess variant penetrance and integrate the genomic data with high-throughput cellular assays to...
- 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), provides $200,000.00 to New York University School of Medicine to conduct a case-cohort study investigating novel determinants of risk for living kidney donors. The key objectives are to: 1) use qualitative research to inform recruitment strategies and messaging to maximize participation of...
- This federal Project Grant award of $117,000 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports a systems biology research project conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan. The key objectives are to: 1) Validate predicted transcription factor binding motifs related to the hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1A) in areas of open chromatin using multiomics data, and 2)...
- This federal Project Grant award, in the amount of $531,999.00, 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 award is supporting research focused on understanding the role of alternative splicing in the proximal tubules of the kidney and its relationship to the progression of diabetic kidney disease. The research will investigate how diabetes...
- This federal Project Grant award, 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), supports research to investigate the molecular mechanisms driving the transition from acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The $1,491,303 award to The Washington University aims to characterize how the repression of the FOXM1-CCNF axis during tubular epithelial...
- This $400,000 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), supports research to understand the earliest events in podocyte injury in collagen IV nephropathies. The goal is to investigate how processing of mutant collagen IV proteins injures podocytes at early stages, leading to chronic kidney disease and renal failure. The research uses...
- This federal Project Grant award of $176,244 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) to the University of California, San Francisco supports a 5-year research and training plan focused on the mechanisms underlying ciliary kidney diseases. The grant recipient, Dr. Gabriel Loeb, will investigate whether the transcription factor GLIS3 is regulated by the polycystin proteins and acts downstream of them to prevent kidney cyst formation. This work aims...
This 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) provides $231,270 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct large-scale rare variant analyses across major biobanks involving 1 million participants. The goal is to identify rare genetic variants and genes associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), as well as develop and integrate a rare variant burden score with existing polygenic risk scores to improve the predictive performance for CKD risk. The 2-year project period runs from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2027 and aims to provide deeper insights into the genetic architecture underlying kidney function and uncover novel mechanisms contributing to CKD.
