Sister Renal Centers (SRC)

ISN Sister Renal Centers (SRC)

The program comprises three levels of support providing the framework and funding to foster up to six years of collaboration if adequate progress is made. Please note that the program is open to all ISN members.

The long-term goal is for the emerging center to become self-sufficient and able to provide better treatment and outcomes for patients with kidney diseases in their care.

After six years of improvement on the program, graduated centers are encouraged to support a third center within their region and therefore sustain the impact of their training and help other centers to develop.
