Our Volunteers

The Kidney Foundation of Canada research program appreciates the dedication and support of the research community.

A large number of community members contribute each year by acting as peer reviewers, reviewing and selecting the best research projects for funding through the Foundation’s three research competitions: The Kidney Health Research Grant, The Allied Health Kidney Research grant and the KRESCENT program, and contributing to our partnership programs.   

Researchers and clinicians attend webinars and workshops, highlight their research, provide content and updates to the community, and answer questions about kidney health.  

To learn more about our research volunteers, please see our annual report Impacts and Outcomes of Research in Canada. 

Our Research council, a team of volunteers, is made up of research, clinical and lived experience expertise.  Individually, they make up the leadership of our peer review and program committees, and representatives from our partner organizations.  

This council is committed to not only their individual programs, but also to provide insight on the research program’s priorities and developments, helping us to ensure we are continuing to provide the best research program for kidney research.
