Key Information: ISN membership is required; applicants with three previous travel grants are ineligible.
The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) offers travel grants for its annual World Congress of Nephrology (WCN) and Frontiers Meetings. The program supports physicians and scientists from developing countries who would otherwise lack the means to attend, encouraging equitable access to the meetings’ learning and networking opportunities. Grants contribute toward travel and accommodation and provide complimentary registration rather than funding a separate research project.
The WCN 2027 and Frontiers 2026 opportunities focus on members residing in low- and lower-middle-income countries, with exceptions for certain ISN program participants. Selection priorities include abstract presenters, younger members, and participants in ISN training and capacity-building programs, supporting continued education within the nephrology community.
