After a successful meeting in December 2023 to launch the PARASOL initiative, the group reconvened this year on June 8th and 9th in Reykjavik, Iceland, for an interim assessment of the effort. Read more about the meeting in the August issue of Kidney News.
From its inception, the PARASOL initiative set an ambitious timeline of 11 months. The gathering of all participants at this interim meeting confirmed that the project is on schedule and moving full steam ahead and in the right direction. The next milestone is a public scientific workshop cosponsored by the US Food and Drug Administration to be held October 7–8, 2024, in Bethesda, MD. Additional presentations will be offered for the larger community at ASN Kidney Week later that month in San Diego, CA.
