The FY26 Kidney Cancer Research Program Idea Development Award supports innovative research projects that advance understanding of kidney cancer. Projects must present a testable hypothesis with strong scientific rationale and a clear research approach. The award encourages collaboration through a partnering principal investigator option, allowing two investigators to jointly submit applications with distinct research portions. This fosters productive partnerships to accelerate kidney cancer research and improve patient outcomes.
Open to any type of entity with a strong background in kidney cancer research. Collaborative applications involving two principal investigators are permitted.
