Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF): Diabetic Nephropathy Biomarker Discovery and Validation Using Type 1 Diabetes Cohorts - LOI

Objective: addressing the lack of validated biomarkers to predict progression to more severe disease and/or to predict treatment response in clinical trials, by utilizing well characterized T1D cohorts to discover and validate such biomarkers. The aim of this request is to catalyze collaborative research between talented research groups with critical clinical and data resources as well as those with appropriate analytic methods in order to accelerate progress in DN biomarker validation towards clinical utility. It is not expected that new interventional trials be proposed in response to this call. Funding: $1.5 million/yr for up to 3 yrs.
