David Koch Jr. Foundation Kidney Health Innovation Awards
Overview
David Koch Jr. Foundation Kidney Health Innovation Awards supports two funding opportunities to accelerate transformative discoveries in pediatric kidney disease, glomerular disease, and the adolescent to adult transition for individuals with kidney disease.
More than 35 million people in the U.S. live with kidney disease, which severely impacts quality of life, potentially leading to kidney failure, dialysis, and eventually transplantation. New insights in prevention, early detection, and treatment have the potential to improve care and outcomes for patients everywhere.
David Koch Jr. Foundation Kidney Health Innovation Seed Grant Awards
The Seed Grant awards seek to leverage Stanford’s exceptional expertise and scientific ecosystem to foster interdisciplinary projects across disciplines such as immunology, genetics, computational biology and psychology - ultimately impacting health outcomes for children and young adults with kidney disease.

David Koch Jr. Foundation Kidney Health Innovation Postdoctoral Support Award
The Postdoctoral Support award will provide funding for postdoctoral fellows to pursue innovative, mentored research to accelerate transformative discoveries in pediatric kidney disease, glomerular disease, and the adolescent to adult transition for individuals with kidney disease. This program aims to motivate and train the next generation researchers and position awardees for success in obtaining future extramural career development or independent research funding.
