Description
The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) offers the Executive Council Research Grant as an exclusive membership benefit supporting research across its four professional councils. The $10,000 grant rotates among those councils, with each opportunity designated for a particular professional group.
The 2027 dietitian opportunity was previously identified as the Council on Renal Nutrition (CRN) Research Grant. It is part of the broader rotating Executive Council program rather than a separate grant program. The next rotation is the 2028 opportunity for social workers; it is a separate council opportunity, not a reopening of the dietitian cycle.
