Description: The KCRP Academy of Kidney Cancer Investigators Award mechanisms, which are being offered for the first time in FY19, support a unique, interactive virtual academy providing intensive mentoring, national networking, collaborations, and a peer group for junior faculty emerging as potential leaders of kidney cancer investigation. The overarching goal of the Academy of Kidney Cancer Investigators (AKCI) is to develop successful, highly productive kidney cancer researchers in a collaborative research and career development environment. The AKCI will be a virtual career development and research training platform that will consist of Early-Career Investigator (ECI)/Designated Mentor pairs from different institutions, and an Academy Dean. The KCRP AKCIECIA is not a traditional career development award; the ECI is expected to participate in monthly webinars and annual workshops and to communicate and collaborate with other members of the Academy (other ECIs, Mentors, Dean) as well as with the advocacy community. The Academy Dean will serve as a resource for the ECIs and Mentors, assessing the progress of the ECIs, and facilitating communication and collaboration among all of the ECIs and Mentors, as well as with national research and advocacy communities. In addition to fostering ECI scientific development, the Academy, through its leadership by the Academy Dean, will provide for professional and leadership development of the ECIs to include skills and competencies needed to fund and manage a productive laboratory or research team. A separate funding opportunity (W81XWH-19-KCRP-AKCIDA) will solicit applications for the Academy Dean. This FY19 Program Announcement is soliciting ECIs and Designated Mentors to join the inaugural class for the Academy. This award mechanism enables the ECI (the investigator named as the Principal Investigator [PI] on the application) to pursue a kidney cancer project that may be basic, translational, and/or clinical research. The Designated Mentor is not required to be at the same institution as the ECI. The KCRP encourages applications from ECIs whose ability to commit to conducting kidney cancer research is limited by minimal resources or a lack of resources, such as a qualified Designated Mentor at his/her institution, access to kidney cancer research tools, opportunities for establishing collaborations, or other obstacles, which should be identified in the application. Preliminary data to support the feasibili...
