We are open to new ideas and innovations
We want to hear about new ideas that could make a difference to people affected by kidney disease.
What is our open door?
Our ‘open door’ encourages new ideas from anyone - patients, carers, industry, companies, researchers, scientists, doctors or health professionals.
Anyone can share their ideas with us at any time. Together we can explore options to move research and new ideas forward to make a difference.
Who should submit an idea to our open door?
Here are some examples of the things you could approach us with through open door:
- Do you need advice on how to take your research to the next stage?
- Are you looking for support with commercialisation of your product?
- Do you want help building a network of people to work with?
- Would you like to approach patients to steer your research idea?
- Are you wondering how best to secure funding for your idea?
- Do you have a great idea for research but are not sure how to make it a reality?
If you have a research idea and think there is a way we can support to make a difference for people with kidney disease, we want to hear about it.
