The RINK is a multidisciplinary research consortium that will build on the success of the Neonatal Kidney Collaborative and foster continue collaboration to improve outcomes in neonates with kidney disease. We anticipate that the RINK will serve to expand the NKC's research portfolio to include more investigator drive studies from a broader range of investigators and provide flexibility to NKC members to participate in studies ranging in sizes and scope from small investigator driven studies to clinical trials.
