Our Kidney Research Group is currently offering a volunteer opportunity for a peer reviewer to join our evidence synthesis team. Our team facilitates the production of systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and evidence/gap maps on kidney-related topics. We are looking for volunteers skilled in screening and data extraction to help conduct these systematic reviews using rigorous methodologies.

Volunteers will receive training and undergo a piloting phase. Our experienced researchers will provide ongoing support and feedback throughout the project. Successful volunteers will gain valuable experience in systematic review methodologies and kidney research, contribute to impactful research that influences clinical practices and health policies, and/or enhance their CV and professional network within the medical research community.

We follow the ICMJE criteria for determining authorship in academic publications. You will be considered for co-authorship on any publications resulting from the systematic reviews you work on if you complete at least 100 hours of dedicated volunteer work. 

Time Requirement: Minimum 4 hours per week, although the more the better. We will provide weekly updates on our progress, and hold Teams meetings every 1-3 weeks; however, attendance at these meetings is optional.
