The WU Pediatric Center of Excellence in Nephrology will draw new investigators towards pediatric kidney disease through a series of opportunities. We will competitively award annual pilot projects that will access and use the resources from our research cores. Young trainees will avail of a summer scholars program that will allow them to learn research techniques, participate in a research project, and learn more about kidney disease in children. These initiates will be supplemented by an annual research symposium and a regular visiting lecture series.
