Grant funds may be used to support the grantee's registration and attendance at this Annual Meeting. The AACR-Kure It Research Grant for Immunotherapy in Kidney Cancer represents a joint effort to promote and support innovative cancer research. This grant is available to full time, independent junior and senior investigators to study immunological aspects of, or treatments for, kidney cancer.
Research projects should advance the basic knowledge of tumor immunology mechanisms, or develop new concepts in the treatment, control, or prevention of kidney cancer by immunology-based therapeutic approaches.
Proposed projects may be basic, translational, clinical, or epidemiological in nature and must focus on cancer immunology including, but not limited to: immune recognition, regulation, tumor escape, and therapeutic manipulation for kidney cancer.
Applications are invited from researchers currently in the field as well as investigators with experience in other areas of cancer or biomedical immunology research who have promising ideas and approaches that can be applied to kidney cancer research. A track record of research in this specific field is not a requirement for funding.
The grant provides $250,000 over two years ($125,000 per year) for expenses related to the research project, which may include salary and benefits of the grant recipient and any collaborators (grant recipient/collaborator salaries limited to 25% of the total grant), postdoctoral or clinical research fellows, graduate students and/or research assistants, research/laboratory supplies, equipment, travel, publication charges for manuscripts that pertain directly to the funded project, other research expenses, and indirect costs.
Research Project Criteria Proposals will be accepted for new ideas and approaches with an immunological basis directly relevant and applicable to kidney cancer. Proposed research projects may be basic, clinical, translational, or epidemiological in nature and must focus on cancer immunology including, but not limited to: immune recognition, regulation, tumor escape, and therapeutic manipulation of kidney cancer.
Applications are invited from researchers currently in the field, as well as from investigators with experience in other areas of cancer or biomedical immunology research who have promising ideas or approaches that they will directly apply to kidney cancer. However, the applicability of the proposed project to kidney cancer must be fully described. A track record of research in this specific field is not a requirement for funding.
Submission of proposals that are duplicative of projects currently funded by Kure It (see www. kureit. org/cancer-research/current-research-funded.
html ) should be avoided. Applicants must have a medical and/or doctoral degree (including PhD, MD, DO, DC, ND, DDS, DVM, ScD, DNS, PharmD, or equivalent doctoral degree) in a related field and not currently be a candidate for a further terminal degree. Applications will be accepted from independent investigators at all levels who are affiliated with an academic, medical or research institution anywhere in the world.
