To create a world without kidney diseases. The ASN Alliance for Kidney Health elevates care by educating and informing, driving breakthroughs and innovation, and advocating for policies that create transformative changes in kidney medicine throughout the world.
The American Society of Nephrology’s most recent grant on file is a $852,500 award to ASN Foundation for Kidney Research in Washington, DC for the support exempt purpose of a related organization. That single grant matches the foundation’s entire annual grant total in the data, and it points to a grantmaking model centered on kidney medicine through ASN’s own research and career-development infrastructure. The organization describes its broader aim as creating a world without kidney diseases, with work focused on kidney research, clinical care and patient support, nephrology education and training, and advocacy and policy. Its active programs show how that mission is put into practice: support for pre-doctoral fellows, clinical scientist awards, postdoctoral career development, clinician-educator projects, and travel support for trainees and fellows. The recent grant record suggests the foundation’s funding is closely tied to its own affiliated kidney research organization rather than a wide external grant portfolio. Across the listed programs, the emphasis is on training researchers, developing nephrology educators, and advancing the science and care of kidney disease.
The American Society of Nephrology funds kidney research at multiple career stages. Through the Pre-Doctoral Fellowship Award Program, it supports pre-doctoral fellows pursuing kidney-related research training, and the Ben J. Lipps Research Fellowship Program funds fellows conducting original kidney research projects under a sponsor. It also backs clinical and outcomes research through the American Kidney Fund and the Clinical Scientist in Nephrology Program, which supports work to improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for people living with chronic kidney disease. Career development is another clear theme. The American Society of Nephrology-Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program Award supports a kidney scholar and future health care leader from a historically disadvantaged background, while the ASN-Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program partnership provides four-year postdoctoral research awards to increase diversity among future leaders in nephrology. For education, the William and Sandra Bennett Clinical Scholars Program supports aspiring nephrology educators who are advancing teaching and training in the field.

The only grant-size figure in the data is a flat pattern: p25, median, and p75 are all $852,500. That indicates a single observed grant amount in the record. The recent grant list also shows one recipient organization, so there is no sign of a broad external spread in the available data. The foundation funds through named programs rather than through individuals, and it makes no program-related investments. Several listed programs accept unsolicited applications, including fellowships and travel support awards, which suggests an open application path for some grantmaking lines.
Grantmaking is highly local in the available record. The top state by grant count is DC, and 100% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state. The recent grant data names Washington, DC as the recipient location, matching that pattern. Program geography is broader for some opportunities, including United States-wide and one program with both United States and international scope, but the recorded grant itself lands in DC.
Its listed focus areas are kidney research, clinical care and patient support, nephrology education and training, research fellowships and career development, and advocacy and policy. The topic taxonomy adds kidney disease prevention, treatment and dialysis care improvement, transplantation care and outcomes, workforce development, and health policy for kidney care quality.
Yes. Active programs include the Pre-Doctoral Fellowship Award Program, the Ben J. Lipps Research Fellowship Program, the American Kidney Fund and the Clinical Scientist in Nephrology Program, and two Harold Amos-related postdoctoral awards. These programs support kidney research training, clinical research, and career development at different stages.
The grant-size distribution is flat in the record: p25 is $852,500, median is $852,500, and p75 is $852,500. That reflects the single recent grant listed in the data, which was also $852,500.
Yes for several active programs. The Pre-Doctoral Fellowship Award Program, the American Kidney Fund and the Clinical Scientist in Nephrology Program, the ASN-Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program awards, the William and Sandra Bennett Clinical Scholars Program, the Ben J. Lipps Research Fellowship Program, and the travel support programs all list unsolicited applications as accepted.
The grant record is local. The data shows DC as the top state by grant count, and 100% of grants are to recipients in DC. The recent grant list names a recipient in Washington, DC.
