The National Kidney Foundation is revolutionizing the fight to save lives by eliminating preventable kidney disease, accelerating innovation for the dignity of the patient experience, and dismantling structural inequities in kidney care, dialysis, and transplantation.
The Council of Nephrology Social Workers (CNSW) Research Grant supports research aiming to improve social work practices in kidney disease management. It focuses on basic or applied research related to social work in kidney disease care, early intervention, patient and family education on treatment, demonstration projects concerning kidney disease and rehabilitation, and the integration of renal palliative care and advanced care planning in chronic kidney disease/end-stage renal disease care models.
