How would you like to play a part in selecting what research we fund?

We receive hundreds of research applications every year and, as much as we would like to be able to fund them all, we have to be selective and ensure we are choosing the projects that we feel are going to have the best impact on the lives of kidney patients.

That's why we go through each and every application thoroughly, and part of that process is involving kidney patients to help us.

That's where you come in. As a research network volunteer, you will assess, review and comment on new research applications and help us in our decision-making process using our scoring criteria and feedback platform.

It can be done from home, you will receive full support from Kidney Research UK staff and we will never overload you, but this offers a great opportunity for kidney patients to play an active role in our research.

If you're interested, head here for more information and find out how to apply 👉 https://bit.ly/3A5FDKc
