Established in 2012, KidneyCure, the ASN Foundation, funds the Ben J. Lipps Research Fellowship Program, the Transition to Independence Grants Program, the William and Sandra Bennett Clinical Scholars Program, the American Society of Nephrology-Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program, and the ASN Pre-Doctoral Fellowship Award Program.
Advancing the independent careers of young investigators in biomedical research, grants of up to $100,000 a year for two years are awarded to applicants within ten years of their initial faculty appointment.
KidneyCure enables fellows and PhD students with analytical interests in basic or clinical research to spend time engaged in work on a kidney research project.
Funded annually, the program provides funding to nephrology educators to conduct projects to advance all facets of nephrology education and teaching.
This grant will allow high quality research to be conducted into this novel method of decreasing rejection. Without this award, this research could not be done.
KidneyCure offers an invaluable pathway to developing a career in nephrology research. This grant funding is essential for developing impactful research.
Grant support from KidneyCure supports the research needed to discover and implement the treatments of the future.
I hope that my studies of mitochondrial metabolism will result in the discovery of molecular targets that will lead to the development of new therapies for the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease.
The more we know, the more likely it is that the knowledge we produce can be translated into treatments.
