Dear KPMP Participant,
Good news!
KPMP 2.0 continues to make solid progress. Recently, we completed the 200th biopsy! Patients continue to be at the heart of what we do and why we do it.
Your next KPMP SteeringCommittee patient voting member
An original member of the KPMP Community Engagement Committee, Nichole M. Jefferson will serve as the next patient voting member of the KPMP Steering Committee (the governing body of KPMP). Nicole is also a member of the Community Advisory Board (CAB) at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas.
Join the Community Advisory Board
To build long-lasting, trusting relationships with local communities and study participants, KPMP is encouraging community members to apply to join their local Community Advisory Board.
A Community Advisory Board (CAB) is aligned with each of theKPMP recruitment sites. The purpose of the CAB is to serve an advisory board that is diverse from a gender, age, racial and ethnic standpoint. Each recruitment site is committed to include representation of those groups most affected by kidney disease in their CAB.
The complete list of the KPMP 2.0 recruitment sites are:
- Boston Medical Center
- Joslin Diabetes Center/Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston)

- University Of Arizona (Tucson)
- University Of Illinois (Chicago)
- University Of Minnesota (Minneapolis)
- University Of North Carolina (Chapel Hill)
- University Of Texas Southwestern (Dallas)

Feel free to share this information with your family, friends, and colleagues. If you know of someone that is interested in joining the KPMP study or serving on theCommunity Advisory Boards in one of the recruitment site locations, invite them to:
- Go to KPMP.ORG to learn more - AND - Contact their nearest recruitment site.
Thanks once again for all that you do! Your participation in KPMP will help make life better for people living with kidney disease.
Sincerely,
