The PNRC is an organization that continues the same mission of the MWPNC, which is to improve the care of pediatric patients with kidney disease and hypertension and facilitate collaborative research in the field of pediatric nephrology. The PNRC facilitates multi-center retrospective and prospective research that cannot be adequately addressed at a single center. The PNRC helps train the next generation of pediatric nephrology investigators by encouraging the development and research efforts of both fellow and junior faculty.
