Throughout its history, UKRO has provided project grants to fund cutting-edge, collaborative research projects at the earliest stage of development, when dollars are needed most. Our support has allowed scientists to gather the crucial data needed to secure significant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Diabetes Association and other institutions.
UKRO-funded researchers have made exciting discoveries that point to new targets for the understanding and treatment of hypertension, diabetic kidney disease, acid-based kidney disorders, acute kidney injury and more. Many of their studies have been profiled in the most prestigious scientific journals.
