DoD Kidney Cancer, Concept Award

archived

The FY18 KCRP Concept Award supports highly innovative, untested, potentially groundbreaking novel concepts in kidney cancer. The Concept Award is not intended to support an incremental progression of an already established research project but, instead, allows Principal Investigators (PIs) the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations. Preliminary data are not allowed . This award mechanism supports high-risk studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Applications must describe how the new idea will enhance the existing knowledge of kidney cancer or develop an innovative and novel course of investigation. Research completed through a Concept Award may generate sufficient preliminary data to enable the PI to prepare an application for future research. The proposed research must be relevant to active duty Service members, Veterans, military beneficiaries, and/or the American public. The FY18 KCRP Concept Award is designed for preliminary investigations; projects involving human subjects or specimens must be exempt under Title 32, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 219, Section 101(b) (32 CFR 219.101[b]). Clinical trials are not allowed under this Program Announcement . New for FY18: Studies that do not qualify for exempt status will be administratively withdrawn. For additional information on clinical research, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://ebrap.org/eBRAP/public/Program.htm . The anticipated direct costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an FY18 KCRP Concept Award will not exceed $75,000 . Refer to Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions, for detailed funding information.
