Clinical nephrology research in low-resource settings: opportunities, priorities, and challenges for young investigators Proceedings from the 10th Conference on Kidney Disease in Disadvantaged Populations in Cape Town, South Africa, March 2015 CLINICAL NEPHROLOGY Anand, S., Stanifer, J.

Abstract

The increased recognition of the growing, worldwide burden of kidney disease has led to calls for prioritizing nephrology research in a global context. However, many challenges exist for young investigators interested in studying kidney disease in low-resource global settings. A lack of clear research priorities, limited funding options, poor infrastructure, difficulty forming partnerships, and unestablished paths for career advancement are a few examples. To discuss these issues, we held a moderated panel discussion in March 2015 as part of the 10th Conference on Kidney Disease in Disadvantaged Populations in Cape Town, South Africa. A group of senior investigators discussed research priorities for studying kidney disease in a global context, collaborations for clinical research, and strategies for dealing with the unique challenges faced by young investigators working in this field.
