The
integrated faculty has consistently been well funded by the NIH, the VA, and
industry. To provide a snapshot of current funding held by faculty with primary
appointments within the Division of Adult Nephrology, in fiscal year 2020, to
date, the Division has received $600,000 direct costs in VA Merit Award funding
(4 grants), and $5.1 million direct costs in NIH
and industry funding. These amounts reflect direct costs only, and
represent the present year of funding only. Many prior trainees from our Division have gone on to successful
academic careers, many of these are among the current T32 faculty, and several
others who have left UCSD are leading academic divisions of nephrology at other
institutions across the US.
