George M. O'Brien Kidney National Resource Centers (U54 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Limited Submissions

For over 25 years, the George M. O’Brien Kidney Centers have played an essential role in advancing kidney research. To expand the breadth and impact of this important program, the NIDDK aims to improve coordination, enhance national outreach and sharing, and promote continuous innovation by establishing the “O’Brien Kidney Consortium.” This Consortium will combine innovative National Resource Centers (NRCs) tasked with developing and sharing specialized kidney resources, tools, technologies, services, and expertise and a National Coordinating Center (NCC) to lead, manage, and harmonize all aspects of the Consortium.

 

To accomplish these objectives, the Consortium will consist of ~8 NRCs. Each NRC must have:

  1. an Administrative Core to lead, manage, and harmonize all aspects of the NRC and facilitate close collaboration with the other NRCs and the NCC.
  2. a maximum of two Biomedical Resource Core(s) to share specialized kidney resources, tools, technologies, services, and expertise to address a fundamental challenge in kidney research.
  3. a Resource Development Core to continually develop new and improved research resources to be shared by the Biomedical Resource Core(s).

Application Instructions

Please submit:

  1. A one‐page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach
  2. If the final application requires a diversity statement or statement of broader impacts, please summarize your plans to address the specific requirements on an additional page.
  3. Biosketch or CV of the PI

to limitedsubs@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Wednesday, August 31, 2022. Proposals are due to the sponsor 12/1/2022, so you will need to have your materials in to the Office of Sponsored Programs by 11/18/2022 if given the go‐ahead by the review committee.
