Lived Experience inclusion in Grants:

The KFOC encourages the inclusion of lived experience or patient partners in research projects. Lived experience partners may be included in any applicant category other than principal applicant. If co applicants are lived experience partners, they may submit a simple CV. In all eligible categories they should also include a letter which details their reason for involvement in the work. Please note that lived experience partners must be compensated for their inclusion in the project and are eligible for compensation from grant funds. Please ensure compensation is detailed in project budget.

The following research priority areas were identified:

Innovative research with the potential for transformational change:

This includes research that is new, unique and potentially unconventional. These are ideas that have the potential for high impact but may span too diverse a range of disciplines or be at a stage too early to fare well in the traditional peer review process. The funding is intended to help kidney researchers pilot a project and become competitive for larger, national level grant opportunities.

Stakeholder-identified priorities to improve patient outcomes:

These priorities were identified through kidney-related James Lind Alliance exercises, as well as KFOC surveys & HORIZONS 2022 workshop. They are grouped into 5 themes:

Communication & Connectivity,
Health System Approaches,
Promoting Health & Quality of Life,
Keeping your Kidneys Healthy,
Treatment of Kidney Disease

Health systems and population health research:

This priority focuses on increasing awareness of the impact of kidney disease on patients and improving their access to evidence-based treatments and optimal care.
