Notice of the Availability of Concept Development Administrative Supplements for the Kidney Disease Clinical Studies Initiative

In conjunction with the NIH, the ASN supported the development of a program to encourage the study of kidney disease, its complications and treatment in patients. This program is funded through The Concept Development Supplements. The goal is to provide support for planning and writing an investigator- initiated application for clinical studies in kidney disease. The usual supplement is $50,000 direct costs. The NIDDK website contains details. Please note that we encourage a wide range of applications for studies and especially applications that will lead to RO1, R21, and R33 applications under $500,000 direct cost per year. Most importantly, approximately 10 of 25 to 30 requests for the $50,000 for writing and planning were funded last year.
