Description: The purpose of this FOA is to advance the treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) through pilot studies that seek to optimize critical elements of a full-scale randomized control trial design. Various treatments to slow or reverse progression of CKD have been tested in small trials with limited numbers of participants, but there still remain questions of the optimum agent(s), target population, dosing, data collection, and appropriate outcomes. This FOA solicits applications from investigators willing to collaborate on the design and conduct of pilot studies that will better inform the design of a full-scale randomized, controlled clinical trial(s) in CKD.
