Kidney Precision Medicine Project Recruitment Sites (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The contract solicits applications for the Kidney Precision Medicine Project Recruitment Sites to support the enrollment of individuals with Acute Kidney Injuries and Chronic Kidney Diseases into a longitudinal biopsy cohort study. Emphasis is placed on addressing under-enrolled populations, particularly those with acute kidney injuries, and conducting comprehensive phenotyping to better understand disease mechanisms. The project encourages innovative approaches such as utilizing residual tissue from clinical biopsies, conducting enhanced physiological assessments, performing repeat biopsies, and expanding recruitment to pediatric populations as well as collecting healthy reference tissues. All personnel involved in the project are expected to contribute actively to scientific discovery while supporting open science principles. The solicitation, issued by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, prohibits clinical trials within this award. The funding opportunity was posted in June 2026 with a response deadline in July 2026. Interested applicants can contact the NIH for further information and must comply with the terms of participation to be part of this significant research initiative aimed at advancing kidney disease precision medicine.
