Applicants should always refer to the latest version. The Kidney Foundation of Canada may, without notice, alter the programs or terms of a grant. Any major changes will be announced immediately on the KFOC website at www.kidney.ca. The Kidney Foundation of Canada reserves the right to interpret these guidelines and policies.

Though applicants at all stages of their research career are eligible for funding, The Kidney Foundation wishes to give priority to new investigators in the field of kidney research. This is defined by the fact, that at the time of application, the applicants have held their first faculty position for no more than 36 months. In such cases, the application should be accompanied by a letter from the Departmental Chair indicating the nature of the university appointment, the facilities being provided and the research potential of the candidate. The candidate is also encouraged to request a letter from the most recent research supervisor describing the candidate's training and research potential. All applicants are strongly advised to carefully read and follow the instructions and requirements outlined in the Biomedical Research Grants Guidelines and the Biomedical Research Grants Checklist page of the application form.
