## What the grant funds

The FY21 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 FY21 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 Preliminary data may include unpublished or published results from the laboratory of the PI or collaborators named on the application and/or data from the published literature relevant to kidney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.
