David Koch Jr. Foundation Innovation Awards

The David Koch Jr. Foundation Kidney Health Innovation Awards fund seed grants and postdoctoral scholars to accelerate transformative discoveries in pediatric kidney disease, glomerular disease, and the adolescent-to-adult transition for individuals with kidney disease. This program leverages Stanford's exceptional expertise and scientific ecosystem to foster interdisciplinary research across disciplines such as immunology, genetics, computational biology, and psychology. Together, these awards aim to generate robust preliminary data and novel research directions—ultimately impacting health outcomes for children and young adults with kidney disease.

Seed Grants

The David Koch Jr. Kidney Health Innovation Seed Grants provide up to $300,000 total over two years in funding to support a wide range of scientific approaches with the potential to advance research in kidney disease.
