Partner Institutions

Chicago KUH FORWARD brings together six leading medical research institutions across Chicago to train the next generation of kidney, urology, and hematology health researchers. Together, we create a vibrant network of mentors and mentees to propel training and research.

Our program is proud to be a part of the Kidney Urology Hematology Research Training Network (KUHR-TN), "Network of Networks”. This collaborative community spans multiple institutions nationwide. While we provide unique and distinctive opportunities within our own program, we are also part of a larger network comprising similar NIH/NIDDK sponsored U2C-TL1 programs. This affiliation offers trainees access to a wide range of resources and opportunities.
