We are dedicated to improving the understanding of kidney disease, its causes, treatment and management through funding research.

Kidney Research UK is dedicated to improving the understanding of kidney disease, its causes, prevention and treatment. The Charity’s main research objective is to support a wide range of projects by UK scientists, through a combination of open response-mode calls and commissioned research in strategically important areas. We believe that understanding basic mechanisms of kidney disease through high-quality research is important for developing novel treatments and for prevention. The spectrum of studies we support ranges from molecular investigation of how molecules, genes and cells work through to clinical trials and health services research, relating to kidney disease, dialysis and transplantation. The Charity recognises that training of basic and clinical scientists is an essential investment for the future of kidney health in the UK. We award training fellowships to clinicians to support their career development and the Charity also seeks to provide support for young scientists to undertake a PhD, undergo postdoctoral training, or through senior fellowships to establish themselves as independent researchers
