The mission of KidneyCure, as part of the ASN (American Society of Nephrology), is to advance kidney health by supporting scientists in their early careers. It aims to fund research that leads to a better understanding of kidney biology and disease, fostering innovations in treatment, and advancements in patient care. Through its funding programs, KidneyCure seeks to equip young scholars with the resources they need to make significant contributions to nephrology.
The ASN Pre-Doctoral Fellowship Award Program is designed to provide financial support to PhD students conducting original and important research projects in the field of nephrology. The primary goal is to support early-career researchers under the guidance of a mentor, encouraging developments in kidney biology and disease research. This program grants $30,000 per year for a duration of up to two years, exclusively for the fellow's salary. Acceptance into the program includes obligations for the fellows, such as attending the ASN Annual Meeting, participating in the ASN Kidney STARS program, and presenting their research. To accommodate diverse applicants, extensions to the eligibility window are available for reasons including family care, medical issues, and military service, with an automatic extension for childbirth.
