What the grant funds

The FY22 KCRP Nurse-Initiated Research Award supports innovative, high-impact kidney cancer research, conducted by nurses working in clinical practice and/or an academic environment (doctor of nursing practice [D.N.P.] or doctor of philosophy [Ph.D.]), to advance ideas or clinical care. Proposed research must demonstrate potential to have a major impact in kidney cancer, ideally in a multi-disciplinary manner led by a nurse. Applications are strongly encouraged to address one of the FY22 KCRP Focus Areas or must provide justification that the proposed research addresses a critical problem, question, or need in kidney cancer. Nurses make up the largest group of health professionals within the health system and nursing is the largest profession in the United States. Nurses engage in more regular interactions with patients and their families, relative to other health professionals. Nurses who have earned advanced degrees (Ph.D. in particular) are being recognized more frequently for their contributions bridging clinical practices and patient care experiences to nurse-initiated research. Their evidenced-based investigations have resulted in advancements to healthcare delivery and the growing field of nurse scientist-led investigations. Please refer to Appendix 2 for further reference. This award enables the nurse-scientist(s) to compete for research funding that will help determine the best practices to both inform and improve kidney cancer patient care. Although the project should address an important question in kidney cancer patient care, studies may also seek to investigate topics associated with access to care, health equity/health disparities, communication/patient education, quality of life, or patient support systems (not all-inclusive). Research Approach: The proposal must pursue a kidney cancer project and should have high potential to lead to, or make breakthroughs in, kidney cancer patient care, survivorship, and outcomes research (not all-inclusive). 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.
