    The Department of Defense (DoD) seeks to award grants for kidney cancer research through its FY24 Kidney Cancer Research Program (KCRP). This initiative aims to foster translational research collaborations between researchers and clinicians to accelerate advancements in kidney cancer understanding and patient care. The focus is on projects that enhance the movement of innovative ideas into clinical applications, improving outcomes for patients. Applicants must address at least one of the specified FY24 KCRP Focus Areas, emphasizing basic biology research, screening strategies, novel treatments, quality-of-life improvements, and health disparity mitigation. The research should align with the program's overarching strategic goals. This two-step application process requires a Letter of Intent followed by a full application. Full applications must include a detailed project narrative, technical abstracts, lay abstracts, statements of work, and impact statements. The budget is limited to a maximum combined direct cost of $800,000 for a three-year period. The application's peer review evaluates research strategy, partnership potential, translational aspects, and impact, while programmatic review considers overall relevance to the KCRP objectives. Critical dates include the Letter of Intent submission deadline on September 24, 2024, and the full application deadline on October 15, 2024. The DoD aims to fund approximately six applications, with each selected project receiving up to $800,000 in combined direct costs. Applicants must be affiliated with eligible organizations, with at least one partner having expertise in kidney cancer research or patient care. This opportunity seeks to foster cutting-edge research collaborations, ultimately contributing to improved kidney cancer management and care for military personnel, veterans, and the wider population.
