	DaVita Clinical Research Completes 13 Phase-I Renal Trials in 2007; 34 Others Underway Press release. Editor's Note: Provider-driven research makes many of us very uncomfortable. Considering the mindset exhibited by DaVita corporate officers in the past (see page 3 of this 2006 Boston Globe story), their motivations for funding and/or sponsoring these studies and the resulting "conclusions" need to be fully explored (see this 2004 DaVita Medical Director bonus structure memo). Also see this December 2007 British Medical Journal article conclusion. In terms of patient outcomes, it will be interesting to see if the for-profit providers add to this incredibly promising research analysis. See related article from NephrOnline™.
