Kidney Precision Medicine Project Tissue Interrogation Sites (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
About
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) requests applications for Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) Tissue Interrogation Sites (TIS) to use highly integrated multi-modal analytic pipelines to interrogate human kidney biopsy tissue to discover and define new disease pathways and subgroups that enable precision clinical trials. All KPMP personnel will actively participate in scientific discovery and promote open science.
The Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) Tissue Interrogation Sites (TIS) grant supports research institutions and medical centers nationwide that can conduct advanced multi-modal analysis of human kidney biopsy tissue. This funding opportunity is designed for research organizations with the capacity to interrogate kidney tissue samples using highly integrated analytic pipelines to discover new disease pathways and patient subgroups. The grant enables precision medicine approaches that can inform future clinical trials by identifying distinct disease mechanisms and patient populations. Researchers and institutions applying for this grant should have expertise in kidney disease, access to biopsy specimens, and capability to conduct sophisticated tissue analysis using cutting-edge technologies. The KPMP emphasizes open science and collaborative discovery, requiring all personnel to actively participate in scientific knowledge-sharing. This is an excellent opportunity for academic medical centers, research hospitals, and specialized kidney disease research institutes to advance the field of precision nephrology and contribute to transformative clinical approaches. Applicants must be U.S.-based organizations, as foreign entities and non-domestic components are not eligible. The deadline for applications is July 10, 2026, with funding up to $1,500,000 available.
