ISN Clinical Research
The ISN Clinical Research Program supports research and education initiatives involving nephrologists, health workers, and local authorities in lower, lower-middle, and upper-middle income countries.
The Program helps implement research projects to detect and manage non-communicable chronic diseases such as CKD, AKI, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Program Options
The ISN Clinical Research General Program has one application round per year, on May 1. Applications are open to ISN members from lower, lower-middle, and upper-middle income countries according to World Bank classification.
The ISN and the Société Francophone de Néphrologie Dialyse et Transplantation (SFNDT) have joined forces to support the development of nephrology in French-speaking countries in Africa.
The ISN Scientific Writing Course offers hands-on and one-to-one mentoring by experts in the field of scientific writing to help physicians and researchers improve their scientific writing skills, so they achieve the skills needed to publish their research work.
Stay tuned for future editions of this course.
