Supported Research

The Kidney Foundation of Canada is committed to achieving excellent kidney health, optimal quality of life, and a cure for kidney disease.  Founded in 1964 with the overarching goal of raising funds for research, The Kidney Foundation of Canada has since invested over $138 million dollars in research grants, awards and partnerships. We continue to value research as a lead generator of hope for those with kidney disease and their community.

Through targeted, peer-reviewed competitions, The Kidney Foundation of Canada supports Canadian researchers in their innovative, transformational, and novel ideas with the focus of improving the quality of life for our patients and community. Each year, our research community continues to make strides towards our goals and provide hope for a future without kidney disease.
