Personnel on the proposed team should have a strong background in kidney cancer research.Distinctive Features:· Partnering Principal Investigator Option: Supports meaningful and productive partnerships between two investigators, termed the Initiating Principal Investigator (PI) and Partnering PI, collaborating on a single application.
