Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study Opportunity Pool Program
The CRIC Opportunity Pool Program was established in 2018 with the overarching goal to engage the broader research community, including investigators who have not previously worked on CKD epidemiology as well as those from outside of the field of nephrology, in novel investigations involving CRIC participant data.
Funding Opportunity Announcements were released in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
The CRIC Opportunity Pool Program is not currently accepting applications.

CRIC Scientific Discoveries
Chronic kidney disease is common in the US population, and we understand that it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, risk scores have not been generated specifically for identifying CKD patients, who are most likely to develop heart disease. In this large-scale proteomics study, we measured nearly 5,000 proteins and used machine learning methods to generate and validate a 32-protein risk score. This score surpassed clinical risk models for predicting incident cardiovascular disease.
CRIC Collaborations
The CRIC Scientific and Data Coordinating Center at Penn receives data and provides ongoing support for a number of Ancillary Studies approved by the CRIC Cohort utilizing both data collected about CRIC study participants as well as their biological samples.
