The foreground shows shimmering turquoise ocean water meeting a strip of white sand dotted with tiny figures and clusters of blue and yellow beach umbrellas. A dense line of white and light-blue modern skyscrapers and hotels runs parallel to the shore, with a clear blue sky and a few light clouds in the background

ISGD CLINICAL TRIAL BOOTCAMP

March 5, 2026
Hyatt Regency, Miami

ASPN-PNRC Fellows Workshop

Clinical Trialist Training for Pediatric Nephrology Fellows

The landscape of kidney disease treatment is evolving rapidly, with innovative therapies entering clinical phases at an unprecedented pace. However, the growth of the clinical research workforce has not kept pace with the volume of trials requiring qualified investigators.
The need for a sustainable pipeline of trial-ready sites with highly trained nephrologist-investigators has never been more urgent. This bootcamp addresses that gap by providing practical training, mentorship access, and networking opportunities for pediatric nephrology fellows.

A tsunami of clinical trials is on the horizon. Now’s the time to train and empower the next generation of pediatric trialists - and ride the wave!
