DoW Kidney Cancer, Academy of Kidney Cancer Investigators - Early-Career Scholar Award
Funds an early-career researcher's kidney cancer project alongside paired mentoring inside the program's own investigator academy.

Career-development funding pairing an early-career kidney cancer investigator (an Early Career Scholar) with an established Designated Mentor inside the Kidney Cancer Research Program's standing Academy of Kidney Cancer Investigators, judged on both the Scholar's own kidney cancer research plan and the Mentor's funding and publication record. Preliminary data supporting feasibility is required but need not come from kidney cancer research.
