💡 Tips for applicants
- Emphasize your institution's track record coordinating multi-site research networks and managing shared resources at scale.
- Show strong partnerships with multiple kidney, urology, and hematology research centers that will benefit from the hub.
- Describe concrete research resources you will develop and share (data repositories, reagent banks, computational tools, databases).
- Detail your governance structure for the hub and how you will ensure equitable access to resources for the research community.
- Highlight experience with secure data management and compliance with relevant regulations and data-sharing policies.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Proposing a hub that serves only a single institution or geographically limited network instead of a truly national collaborative effort. Failing to clarify what specific, unique research resources the hub will develop and maintain for community use. Neglecting to describe governance, sustainability, and how resource access will be managed equitably across the broader research community.
