Under this RFA, the PKD Foundation solicits research grant applications in the following areas:
- Basic research — to enhance understanding of molecular basis of PKD and its pathobiology
- Translational research — to accelerate development of predictive and therapeutic strategies for PKD
- Clinical research — such as small pilot studies
- Epidemiology/data analysis research — to conduct secondary data analyses utilizing existing database resources, or to develop new statistical methodologies or test hypotheses using existing data
