Small Business: Renal and Urological Sciences – KUDS (11)
In the Digestive, Kidney and Urological Systems [DKUS] IRG, the Renal and Urological Sciences Small Business Activities Special Emphasis Panel [DKUS (11)] will review SBIR and STTR grant applications that focus primarily on kidney, urinary tract, and male genital system therapies, devices, and diagnostics.
This includes clinical, translational and fundamental studies and investigators may employ a range of approaches that include genetics, genomics and proteomics, molecular, cell, and computational biology, biochemistry, biophysics and bioengineering, imaging, analyses of model organisms, and human studies.
Review Dates
Topics
- Development and evaluation of new techniques for investigating, diagnosing and treating disorders of the kidney, urinary tract, and male genital system.
- Development of new techniques and evaluation of the efficacy of dialysis.
- Application of new technologies and methodologies to the diagnosis and treatment of urologic diseases.
- Novel approaches to regeneration and tissue engineering of the kidney, urinary tract and male genital system.
- Clinical assessment of genitourinary diseases including urinary incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction

There are shared interests between the small business panels in Kidney, Urology, and Digestive Systems Review Branch (KUDS) and Small Business: Clinical Care and Health Interventions (CCHI 10) in the study of disorders of digestive, kidney, and urological sciences. Applications that focus on development and evaluation of new techniques, therapies, and treatments are reviewed in KUDS. Applications whose aims are patient-oriented and focus on health behavior and risk are reviewed in CCHI 10.
There are shared interests between the small business panels in the Kidney, Urology, and Digestive Systems Review Branch (KUDS) and Small Business: Health Services and Systems (HSS 10) in the study of disorders of digestive, kidney, and urological sciences. Applications that focus on development and evaluation of new techniques, therapies, and treatments are reviewed in KUDS. Applications whose aims focus on implementation of the approach in clinical practice or for use in clinical decision support are reviewed in HSS 10.
