U01 DK061028-16Akinlolu Oluseun Ojo – PI2001/09/28-2018/04/30NIDDKChronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) StudyA total of 3,939 study participants have been followed for up to 11 years to: 1) examine the risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and cardiovascular disease (CVD); 2) develop predictive models to identify high risk subgroups; and 3) identify etiological factors as targets for clinical trial interventions.
U01 DK061028-16Akinlolu Oluseun Ojo – PI2001/09/28-2018/04/30NIDDKChronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) StudyGoals of the current application are to: 1) continue the follow-up of the originally recruited CRIC cohort; 2) study the relationship between CKD and outcomes in the elderly; 3) conduct a comprehensive assessment of the morbidity experienced by participants with CKD including non- CVD clinical outcomes and non-CVD hospitalizations; and 4) recruit and prospectively evaluate CKD and CVD outcomes in participants with CKD stage 2 and 3a (mild/moderate CKD).
U54 HG006939-04Akinlolu Oluseun Ojo – PI2012/08/15-2017/07/31National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)H3Africa Kidney Disease Research NetworkAn estimated 500,000-plus people succumb to end-stage renal disease annually in sub-Saharan Africa with 50 million more suffering from pre-dialysis CKD. Study objectives include: 1) phenotype 8,000 kidney disease cases and controls; 2) conduct four genetic research projects of single gene mutation kidney disorders in affected families, genetic variants of single genes associated with kidney diseases in the populations and genome-wide association studies; 3) establish two low-capital intensity, rugged and sustainable genomics research labs in Africa; 4) implement a customized six-track training and career development plan for African-based genomic researchers; 5) establish and maintain a Network-wide biospecimen repository harmonized seamlessly with the H3Africa Biorepository Grants (RFA-RM-11-011); 6) establish and maintain a network-wide data management and bioinformatics facility that integrates with the H3Africa Bioinformatics Network (RFA-RM-11-010); and 7) cooperate and coordinate Network activities with the H3Africa Consortium and NIH Program Scientists/Staff.
