There will be four YIAs of $75,000 each. YIAs encourage promising researchers in urology and clinical oncology who are planning to pursue an investigative career in kidney cancer. All grant proposals will be evaluated by an independent panel of reviewers, who are recognized experts in the field. They will conduct a blinded, scored review of all applications received. Further details about the YIAs grant application process can be obtained here. The Kidney Cancer Association has a Communitty Fundraiser Platform available via its website. This hub for DIY fundraising offers ideas and tips, provides checklists, and gives users a space to create their own campaigns. This news follows on from the Kidney Cancer Association's 74K Challenge last month, which was a virtual event aimed at raising awareness about kidney cancer and funds for research ahead of World Kidney Cancer Day on June 18. This initiative was spearheaded by the International Kidney Cancer Coalition (IKCC) and this year’s theme was focused on physical activity. kidneycancer.org | Please Share Kidney Cancer News With Your Colleagues Help Spread the News! | If you know of any colleagues or fellow researchers who are not yet signed up to receive the newsletter, we invite you to share this mailing with them.
