Welcome ESPN and PNRC Members:

The European Society for Pediatric Nephrology (ESPN) and The Pediatric Nephrology Research Consortium (PNRC) have created a joint research program to provide pilot program funding for researchers from each organization to conduct research on shared projects.

The decision to create a joint research program was born out of a desire to promote greater partnership and collegiality between Pediatric Nephrologists in Europe and North America and to improve the care of children with kidney disease through collaboration and research. Proposed projects may be clinical, basic, or translational research in design. The ESPN-PNRC Joint Research Program will fund up to three $10,000 awards in 2023. One award will be for Clinical/ Translational Research and the second award will be for Basic Science/ Translational Research. The award period to complete the proposed project will be 1 year (maximum up to 2 years). Applications from early career researchers are encouraged. We would prioritize the funding to junior faculty.

RFA release date: December 1, 2022

Deadline to accept applications: September 1, 2023 (11:59 pm CET/ 6:59 pm Eastern)
