Research Priorities

Patient and kidney donor partners have a critical role to play in advancing research that can improve kidney care in Canada. We understand the care and knowledge gaps better than anyone. Our goal is to develop a knowledgeable network of patients and donors who want to be involved in sparking and supporting ongoing research that they think would be most beneficial to patients.
