ASN is dedicated to advancing kidney research and supporting the next generation of investigators and fellows in their pursuit of groundbreaking kidney research discoveries. 

Through his photography and films, Ed Kashi, who will receive the ASN President's Medal at Kidney Week, has documented how climate change and chronic kidney disease have become a public health crisis and social injustice.

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2021 American Society of Nephrology Lifetime and Mid-Career Awards. They have helped to improve the lives of patients with kidney diseases; advanced research, treatments, and patient care; and mentored trainees and junior faculty.

ASN is now accepting nominations for its Lifetime Achievement Awards.

People who succeed in nephrology exemplify the best in all of us. They relish the intellectual rigor required to advance such a complex area of study and practice; they approach treatment and research challenges with creativity and tenacity, and work daily to enhance quality of life for millions. Most important, kidney professionals imbue their work with compassion and respect for the people whose lives they improve through research, education, and clinical excellence.
