Description
The Council on Renal Nutrition (CRN) Research Grant is the 2027 opportunity within the National Kidney Foundation’s Executive Council Research Grant program. This annual research award rotates among NKF’s four professional councils rather than operating as a separate, continuously offered CRN award. The 2027 application is an exclusive member benefit for dietitians who are current CRN NKF members.
The program supports research proposed by eligible dietitians, with projects reviewed by the Council Research Grants Committee. Approved work runs for the 2027 calendar year, with a progress report during the project and a final report afterward. The opportunity sits within NKF’s broader research efforts to advance kidney disease detection, treatment, and transplant access.
