This mechanism provides support to develop and enhance collaborations and resources necessary for a network of organizations to rapidly execute either Phase II or Phase II-linked Phase I (Phase I/II) kidney cancer clinical trials. These trials feature investigations of high-impact, novel therapeutic agents or approaches for the management or treatment of kidney cancer. Applicants must demonstrate a broad understanding of kidney cancer research, which includes knowledge of the current state of clinical studies and priorities related to kidney cancer. Applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the FY23 Overarching Strategic Goals and Focus Areas to prepare an application. Support from this mechanism is to be directed toward consortium infrastructure needs rather than direct support of the trials themselves.
Deadline: Thursday, October 26, 2023
