| Abstract |
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases-supported
Kidney Research National Dialogue asked the scientific community to formulate
and prioritize research objectives that would improve our understanding of
kidney function and disease; >1600 participants from >30 countries posted >300
ideas and >500 comments covering all areas of kidney research. Smaller groups of
investigators interrogated the postings and published a series of commentaries
in CJASN. Additional review of the entire series identified six cross-cutting
themes: (1) increase training and team science opportunities to maintain/expand
the nephrology workforce, (2) develop novel technologies to assess kidney
function, (3) promote human discovery research to better understand normal and
diseased kidney function, (4) establish integrative models of kidney function to
inform diagnostic and treatment strategies, (5) promote interventional studies
that incorporate more responsive outcomes and improved trial designs, and (6)
foster translation from clinical investigation to community implementation.
Together, these cross-cutting themes provide a research plan to better
understand normal kidney biology and improve the prevention, diagnosis, and
treatment of kidney disease, and as such, they will inform future research
efforts supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney
Diseases through workshops and initiatives.
