These Kidney Research UK-Stoneygate jointly funded awards aim to build excellence in transplant science and support new and innovative research to decrease waiting times and improve kidney transplantation outcomes.
We want to build capacity in kidney research and kidney transplant teams and are committed to attracting and supporting early career researchers, including young surgeons, to pursue academic transplant research.
- If you’re early in your career: Apply for a PhD studentship or transplant surgeon PhD fellowship
- If you’re an established researcher: Apply for a project grant or a senior non-clinical fellowship
- If you’re testing a new idea: Apply for a smaller start-up grant
We are seeking applications that will help our ambitions to:
- Accelerate discoveries and develop outstanding leaders in kidney transplant research
- Make kidney transplants last longer and build stronger defences against infections and other diseases that can lead to transplant failure
- Increase the availability of kidneys for transplantation and decrease waiting times.
- Develop novel machine perfusion techniques that have the capacity to increase organ utilisation rates and deliver pre-transplant regenerative therapies that prolong transplant survival.
