Funding Opportunities

In line with its aim of enhancing kidney research capacity in Canada, the KRESCENT program is focused on the recruitment and training of those who will subsequently assume leadership roles in kidney research in Canada. The KRESCENT program provides salary support to post-doctoral fellows, new investigators and allied health scholars.  Salary support is paired with exceptional mentorship, training opportunities and career development support.
 
The program additionally supports a summer studentship program aimed at Black and Indigenous undergraduate and medical school students, aimed to both provide a culturally safe kidney research training experience for emerging research scholars, and to address known disparities in the kidney research community.

Information on KRESCENT funding opportunities can be found below, or on Kidney Foundation Opportunities on the Kidney Foundation website.
