Our latest funding call aims to accelerate research that addresses the unique challenges of paediatric and rare kidney conditions, where treatment options are often limited and patient needs are unmet.<\/p>\n\t<h3>Why focus on paediatric and rare kidney diseases?<\/h3>\n<p>Children with kidney disease face a lifetime of health challenges. Many rare kidney conditions are poorly understood, under-researched, and lack effective treatments. By investing in this critical area, we aim to spark discoveries that could transform patient care.<\/p>\n\t<h2>Types of grants available<\/h2>\n<p>We welcome applications for the following grant types:\u00a0<\/p>\n\t<p>We particularly encourage paediatric trainees\u00a0to apply with a translational research project\u00a0focused on rare kidney disease.
