A limit of three proposals from each sponsoring academic institution is imposed to enable fair and broad support for DCI-affiliated investigators.

Overview 
The Paul Teschan Research Fund (PTRF) of Dialysis Clinic, Inc. (DCI) offers grant support for research
related to human kidney disease. Research methods may range from basic science to clinical and
epidemiologic research. Support from this fund, named to honor Paul Teschan, MD, a distinguished
investigator, clinician and advisor to DCI, is intended to promote investigations of current or eventual clinical
significance that might not be able to achieve funding from NIH or other national sources because of their
clinical nature, their early stage of work, or other reasons. The PTRF is a source of funding for worthy
projects where other sources are unavailable.

A limit of three proposals from each sponsoring academic institution is imposed to enable fair and broad
support for DCI-affiliated investigators. Each individual grants are limited to $60,000 per year, including
institutional overhead. The funding period for PTRF research grants is Jan 1 – Dec 31. The initial award
installment is contingent on the project passing DCI’s legal, compliance and regulatory review. This includes
obtaining IRB or IACUC approvals. Subsequent installments are contingent upon adherence to the award
letter.

Preference will be given to earlier research career investigators and to projects considered most relevant
to understanding and treatment of clinical kidney conditions and their complications. All proposals will be
reviewed for scientific merit and significance by external reviewers and also by a panel of DCI-affiliated
nephrologists (Application Review Committee) as part of the competitive application process. Renewal of
ongoing PTRF funding projects is given preference, but is not automatic. Grant awards are merit based.
PTRF grants may not be used to fund salaries of investigators, but may support other personnel active in
the project as approved by DCI. Capital equipment costing $1500 or more may not be included in PTRF
budgets. Overhead is limited to 20% ($10,000). Travel may be requested in the budget during Year 2 and
Year 3 if work from the PTRF project is being presented at a conference, but this may not exceed $1500
per year. No travel will be supported by Year 1 funds. Projects will only be funded for one year at a time
and may be funded for a total of three (3) consecutive years. Year 2 and Year 3 applications will undergo
competitive review by the Application Review Committee for continued funding based on progress
described in a DCI PTRF Study Progress Report. Applications for Year 2 and Year 3 funding will be
reviewed in the same way as an initial application, including reassessment of the scientific merit of the work
proposed as well as the addition of a detailed review of the work accomplished. Grants may not be renewed
in the absence of progress satisfactory reports.

The July 2026 deadline is institutionally coordinated. For more information, please contact RDS.

Executive Summary 
The Public Diplomacy Section at the U.S. Mission to Germany invites proposals under its Partnership Program to strengthen the transatlantic relationship between the United States and Germany. As the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of its founding (Freedom 250), this program supports forward-looking initiatives that highlight the enduring strength of the bilateral partnership and advance shared democratic principles.

The Partnership Program seeks innovative projects that deepen mutual understanding, foster collaboration, and engage key German audiences in meaningful dialogue with the United States. In recognition of the breadth of the transatlantic relationship, proposals are encouraged in areas central to U.S.–German cooperation, including collaboration in sports, science, and space; efforts to counter anti-Semitism and support freedom of speech; and initiatives that measure and amplify the long-term impact of exchange programs.

Programs focused on science, technology, and space may highlight U.S.–German cooperation in innovation, research, and exploration as a shared frontier advancing knowledge and partnership. Sports diplomacy initiatives may leverage major global sporting events to promote leadership, collaboration, and teamwork while advancing common goals. Projects addressing anti-Semitism and freedom of expression should combat hate, protect constitutionally protected speech, promote open dialogue, and strengthen institutional resilience. Proposals that assess and highlight the long- term impact of exchange programs and sister city partnerships are encouraged to demonstrate the lasting value of transatlantic engagement.

All projects must feature substantial U.S. elements, clearly define and prioritize German audiences, and present a strategic implementation plan. Competitive proposals will demonstrate measurable objectives designed to increase awareness, shape attitudes, strengthen skills, or build sustainable networks that advance U.S.–German cooperation.

Each application must include a robust monitoring and evaluation plan outlining how outputs and outcomes will be tracked and assessed. Successful programs will contribute directly to strengthening the transatlantic partnership and reinforcing the United States as a forward-looking, reliable partner guided by strong institutional principles.
