Academy of Kidney Cancer Investigators Dean Award

Abstract

The CDMRP/KCRP Academy of Kidney Cancer Investigators (ACKI) fosters the development and commitment of early career kidney cancer investigators through provision of the raw materials and structured mentorship for focused, sustainable, and ultimately independent success. A Dean and advisory panel of relevant experts has been established and the first class of mentor/mentee pairs has been admitted to the Academy. The initial kick-off meeting was held in November 2020 to refine mentee projects and establish concrete SMART goals and timelines for the following year. Quarterly AKCI meetings were held virtually for project status updates, input from the entire group as to ongoing issues, barriers and how to overcome them and future directions. In addition, monthly didactics with relevant topic experts outside of AKCI have begun. Significant academic output has already been realized through this structured virtual academy.
