The Better Evidence And Translation – Chronic Kidney Disease (BEAT-CKD) is funded by a NHMRC Program Grant (APP1092957) that supports four research and translation platforms, including the ANZDATA Registry. BEAT-CKD aims to improve the lives of people living with chronic kidney disease in Australia and globally by generating high-quality research evidence to inform healthcare decisions made by patients, health professionals, and policy makers. The three other platforms are Australian Kidney Trials Network (AKTN), Kidney Health Australia Caring for Australians with Renal Impairment (KHA-CARI Guidelines) and Cochrane Kidney and Transplantation (Cochrane).
