Description
The Kidney Health Equity Community Engagement Award, offered by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), is designed to support community-driven projects addressing disparities in kidney health across the United States. The award emphasizes initiatives that improve access to kidney care, strengthen disease management in both clinical and community settings, and enhance patient outcomes through education, support, and patient-centered interventions. Funded projects must demonstrate strong community engagement, focus on populations disproportionately affected by kidney disease, and have clear plans for measuring impact. Multidisciplinary collaborations among healthcare professionals, researchers, and community partners are highly encouraged.
