American Kidney Fund
The American Kidney Fund (AKF) is pleased to invite applications to its Clinical Scientist in Nephrology (CSN) Program for academic year 2010-2011. The goal of the CSN Program is to improve the quality of care provided to kidney patients and to promote clinical research in nephrology. This goal is achieved by enhancing the training of nephrologists who desire to pursue an academic career and whose primary professional commitment is to scholarship in the provision of patient care. Awardees conduct prevention and outcomes research and receive advanced training in essential skills such as medical ethics, biostatistics and epidemiology.
For the cycle of funding due to begin July 1, 2010, application materials must reach the American Kidney Fund on or before December 1, 2009. The CSN Selection Committee will review the applications and proceed to a preliminary ranking in January 2010.
