## What the grant funds

The FY23 KCRP Postdoctoral and Clinical Fellowship Award supports recent doctoral or medical school graduates in pursuit of innovative, high-impact kidney cancer research during their postdoctoral and/or clinical fellowship and allows them to obtain the necessary experience for an independent career as a leader in kidney cancer research. Applicants must demonstrate that the proposed research has high potential to lead to, or make, significant advancements in kidney cancer research and/or patient care. Applicants for this award must also exhibit a strong desire to pursue a career in kidney cancer research, with clear evidence for a researcher development plan that will lead to a successful independent career in kidney cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the FY23 KCRP Postdoctoral and Clinical Fellowship Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending kidney cancer. The impact may be short term or long term, but must move beyond an incremental advance. Applications are expected to identify the kidney cancer patients or at-risk individuals who would ultimately benefit from the proposed research. Research Strategy: The research proposed as part of the Postdoctoral and Clinical Fellowship Award must have high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in kidney cancer. The scope of the research may include innovative, high-risk/high-reward research in the early stages of idea development or research already supported by preliminary data with the potential to make significant advancements toward clinical translation. The research strategy should demonstrate sound rationale, logical reasoning, and, if available, preliminary data. The proposed research should show evidence of rigorous experimental design, sufficient experimental details, appropriate controls, a statistical plan, and consideration of pitfalls and alternatives. Principal Investigator (PI): Under this award mechanism, the postdoctoral or clinical fellow is considered the PI and, as such, is expected to write the project narrative, researcher development plan, and other application components, with appropriate guidance from the mentor. While the PI is not required to have previous experience in kidney cancer research, the proposed project and researcher development plan must focus on kidney cancer.
