The Renal Association

Prizes and Awards

AEG Raine Award

The Raine Award was established in memory of Tony Raine, Professor of Renal Medicine at Barts, following his tragically early death in 1995. This prestigious annual award is made to a relatively junior investigator (usually 35 years of age or less) who has made a significant contribution to renal research. The awardee usually makes a presentation of the work which has led up to the award at a Renal Association Conference.

The award of £300 is only available to Renal Association members. Representatives from the Executive Committee will consider the applications and the winner will be announced annually. The standard of applications for this award has been high. Unsuccessful candidates are encouraged to apply again in the next round if they still fit the general criteria.

Submissions may be made between May 1st and August 31st each year. Decisions will usually be made by the end of September. Late applications will NOT be accepted.

• a concise letter of support from a Nephrology Consultant or Unit Head
• a short letter explaining why the applicant considers that he/she should receive this award
