About this opportunity

The FY22 KCRP Idea Development Award is intended to support innovative ideas and high-impact approaches, based on scientifically sound evidence, to move toward the KCRP vision of eliminating kidney cancer. The research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and a well-developed and articulated research approach. Personnel on the proposed team should have a strong background in kidney cancer research.This funding opportunity is open to applicants with eligible established investigators (EIs) and early-career investigators (ECIs) named as the Principal Investigator (PI). The FY22 KCRP expects to fund one or more scientifically meritorious application(s) with an ECI named as the PI. ECIs will be assessed using different criteria for personnel during the review process (refer to Section II.E.1.a, Peer Review).The following are significant features of this award mechanism:Research Approach: The scientific rationale and experimental methodology should demonstrate critical understanding and in-depth analysis of kidney cancer. Experimental strategies may be novel or may be based on strong rationale derived from previously published data and/or presented preliminary data. The feasibility of the research design and methods should be well-defined, and a clear plan should be articulated as to how the proposed goals of the project can be achieved. Additionally, resources should be identified and availability supported through documentation. Identification of potential problems and pitfalls with alternate approaches should be addressed. A statistical analysis plan for the proposed research should be included, if applicable, as well as a power analysis to support the design and sample size.Preliminary Data: Preliminary data are required but need not be in kidney cancer. Preliminary data may include unpublished or published results from the laboratory of the PI or collaborators named on the application and/or data from the published literature relevant to kidney cancer.Innovation: Innovative research may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other creative qualities. This may include high-risk, potentially high-gain, approaches to kidney cancer research, provided the application demonstrates the potential for significant impact on the field of research, patient care, and/or quality of life. Research that is likely to yield only an incremental advance is not considered innovative.Impact: Proposed research projects should address a central critical issue or question in kidney cancer research or clinical care. High-impact research will, if successful, significantly advance current methods and concepts in at least one of the FY22 KCRP Focus Areas.Personnel: Personnel are considered a crucial element of the FY22 KCRP Idea Development Award. The application should demonstrate the investigators’ experience in kidney cancer through the PI’s background, the research team, or through collaboration. Collaborations should be documented.• An EI is defined as an independent investigator at or above the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) and be 10 years or more from completing a terminal degree. The EI should have kidney cancer-related experience and background as demonstrated by funding and publication records. The EI should plan research collaborations and dedicate a level of effort appropriate for the successful conduct of the proposed work.• An ECI is defined as an independent investigator at the level of Assistant Assistant Research Professor (or equivalent) and be less than 10 years from completing their terminal degree (excluding time spent in medical residency or during family medical leave) at the time of the application submission deadline. This should be clearly articulated by the applicant in their biographical sketch.
