Celebrating 9 years of collaboration and impact

This spring, Can-SOLVE CKD marks nine years of leading innovative, patient-oriented kidney health research across Canada. With the guidance of our Patient Governance Council and Indigenous Peoples’ Engagement and Research Council, and the strength of our multiple partnerships, we’ve built a powerful model for equity-driven, culturally competent research.

Thank you to all our patient partners, researchers, clinicians, and collaborators whose hard work and commitment continue to drive meaningful change in kidney health and improve care for the people most affected. As we look ahead to the future, we’re more energized than ever to keep advancing people-centred research, strengthening our impact, and building a healthier future for all. Thank you for being part of this journey — our network’s success is because of you.

SPOR strategy refresh – final report now available

The newly released “Pathways to Impact” report outlines an inspiring collaborative vision for the next chapter of Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR). Informed by extensive engagement with partners, researchers, people with lived experience, and health system leaders, this report highlights key recommendations to strengthen equity, inclusion, and impact in health research across the country.

As a proud SPOR network, Can-SOLVE CKD is excited to continue contributing to this important work. We encourage you to read the report and reflect on how your work can play a role in advancing Canada’s SPOR in the years to come.
