NephCure – PARASOL Grant Program<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Due to a significant increase in the scope of the original project, NephCure now has limited funds available for additional grant support.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This funding opportunity will be a limited competition program for invited applicants who have previously collaborated with or contributed to PARASOL.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

Objectives<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

NephCure in cooperation with the International Society of Glomerular Diseases, the Kidney Health Initiative, and the National Kidney Foundation continues to support a research grant program to support the PARASOL project. PARASOL<\/a> is a collaborative international effort that aims to define the quantitative relationships between short-term changes in biomarkers (proteinuria and GFR) and long-term outcomes in order to support the use of alternative proteinuria-based endpoints as a basis for accelerated and traditional approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PARASOL group is achieving these aims by conducting a large-scale analysis of existing data from patients of all ages with FSGS who have participated in observational cohort studies, completed clinical trials, regional or national registries, or real-world data sets.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
