DOD Kidney Cancer Research Program (KCRP) Concept Award – Pre-application
Well-being, Health and Biomedical Discovery
Deadlines
Academic Unit: Inquire with unit
Memorial Deadline: RIS Review not required for pre-application
External Deadline: Tuesday 28th, July 2026
Description
Concept Award
The FY26 KCRP Concept Award supports highly innovative, untested, potentially
groundbreaking novel concepts in kidney cancer that address at least one of the FY26 KCRP
Focus Areas. The Concept Award is not intended to support incremental progression of an
established research project; instead, it allows PIs to pursue serendipitous observations.
Preliminary data are not allowed and should not be discussed. This award mechanism
supports high-risk studies with potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation.
Applications must describe how the new idea will enhance the existing knowledge of kidney
cancers or develop an innovative and novel course of investigation. Research completed
through a Concept Award is expected to generate preliminary data for future avenues of
scientific investigations.
