New Publications from OKRA National Resource Centers – IU Highlighting an OKRA Patient Advocate New Publication from OKRA National Resource Center – WashU Welcome to the George M. O’Brien Kidney Resource Alliance The George M.
O’Brien Kidney Resource Alliance (OKRA) is a consortium of National Resource Centers (NRCs) whose primary purpose is to provide kidney researchers with specialized resources, tools, technologies, services, and expertise beyond those typically available in an individual lab or institutional core.
Registration is now open for NIH's Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease in Hemodialysis workshop, August 3-4 in Rockville, MD (virtual option available). Multidisciplinary experts will examine the evidence and methodology for replication trials of omega-3 therapy in hemodialysis patients. Biannual OKRA Travel Awards Available!
We are excited to announce the return of the biannual OKRA Travel Awards! These awards are available to Early-Stage Investigators (ESIs) to help support travel to kidney-related national meetings. These are rolling submissions and evaluations so applicants should apply as soon as possible!
The latest you may be considered for review is 31 days prior to the start of your conference. Once our awards are full, submission will be closed until July when our second biannual round will open. Please note, potential applicants are eligible for an OKRA Travel Award once per academic year (beginning on July 1).
If you are interested in learning more, check out our page here. New Publication from OKRA National Resource Centers – IU Be sure to check out the OKRA consortium’s publications! Indiana University’s recent article discusses interrogating human kidney biopsies with integrated spatial protein imaging and spatial transcriptomics.
This work identifies the Thy1 gene and protein expression as an important marker of healthy proximal tubules that undergoes dynamic changes with kidney disease. It is therefore a novel biomarker and potential therapeutic target. Highlighting an OKRA Patient Advocate The OKRA NCC is proud to highlight the recent efforts of Arnold Davis!
Arnold serves on the OKRA Patient Advocacy Council (PAC) and devotes his time to improving outreach, advocacy, and education throughout the kidney community. You can read his recent interview with ASN’s KidneyNews Online HERE .
New Publication from OKRA National Resource Center – WashU Learn more about WashU’s recently published article, “Multimodal spatial transcriptomic characterization of mouse kidney injury and repair.
” This article discusses multiscale spatial mapping of over one million kidney cells, revealing a critical fibro-inflammatory niche and cell-cell communication network that drives the progression from acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease. All code with detailed tutorials is publicly available for all analyses, including multimodal integration. Read the full article HERE and access GitHub code tutorials HERE .

Past winners and funding trends for this program
NSF's NAIRR Operations Center solicitation (NSF 25-546) will make a single award of up to $35 million over five years to the organization that will run the National AI Research Resource — the shared computing, data, and model infrastructure that has already connected over 400 U.S. research teams. This is a rare winner-take-all federal competition where the prize is not funding for your own research but the mandate to operate national infrastructure. Here is what the NAIRR is, why its transition from pilot to permanent program matters, and what kind of organization can credibly win it.
Read articleNSF has moved to stand up the NAIRR Operations Center — a single award of up to $35 million over five years to run the National AI Research Resource. Backed by 14 federal agencies and 28 private partners, NAIRR has already connected 400+ research teams to compute and data most labs could never buy on their own. Here is what the transition from pilot to permanent program means, and how researchers actually get an allocation.
Read articleMTO opened six SBIR topics on May 27 with a single June 24 close: nanopore proteomics, compact wideband tunable RF filters, 800°C-rated integrated circuits, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing for legacy hardware reuse. Together they map the office's bet on where U.S. semiconductor advantage gets reasserted — and which small businesses get to ride along.
