The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) asked the scientific community to formulate and prioritize research objectives to improve understanding of kidney function and disease. The Kidney Research National Dialogue welcomed all interested parties to submit, discuss, and prioritize ideas via an interactive website. More than 1600 participants posted approximately 300 ideas and assigned them to 12 topic areas (AKI, CKD, diabetic nephropathy, National Kidney Disease Education Program/translation, ESRD/dialysis, GN/inflammation, hypertension, normal biology/development/physiology, polycystic kidney disease, training, transplantation, other). This commentary provides an overview of the NIDDK's first experience with web-based strategic planning and addresses the broader issues of open access and cloud-sourcing technologies to capture input from a large, heterogeneous group of contributors. Discussions and findings for each topic will be published as separate, forthcoming commentaries. A final commentary will present cross-cutting themes and concluding remarks. The hope is that this series of commentaries constitutes a cohesive, integrated vision of future research opportunities to be pursued by the kidney research community and supported by the NIDDK.
美国国立糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所（NIDDK）要求科学界制定并优先考虑研究目标，以增进对肾脏功能和疾病的理解。肾脏研究国家对话欢迎所有感兴趣的各方通过互动网站提交、讨论和优先考虑各种想法。超过 1600 名参与者发布了大约 300 个想法，并将其分配到 12 个主题领域（急性肾损伤、慢性肾脏病、糖尿病肾病、国家肾脏疾病教育计划/转化、终末期肾脏疾病/透析、肾小球肾炎/炎症、高血压、正常生物学/发育/生理学、多囊肾病、培训、移植、其他）。本评论概述了 NIDDK 首次在基于网络的战略规划方面的经验，并探讨了更广泛的开放获取和云计算技术问题，以从大量不同的参与者中获取意见。每个主题的讨论和发现将作为单独的即将发表的评论发表。最后一篇评论将提出跨领域的主题和结论。希望这一系列评论构成了肾脏研究界未来研究机会的一个连贯、综合的愿景，并得到 NIDDK 的支持。
