Research Engagement And CHRCC Conference Support Fund for Early-Career Investigators

Support the Future of Chromophobe Research

The REACH (Research Engagement And CHRCC Conference) Support Fund supports early-career investigators studying chromophobe renal cell carcinoma by enabling their participation in scientific conferences. Each $1,500 award helps toward covering travel costs, registration fees, and accommodation for researchers to present their work.

Why This Matters

For rare cancers like chromophobe RCC, building a strong research community is essential. When early-career scientists attend conferences like the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, they:

Have the opportunity to present their research to the wider scientific community
Network with established researchers, potential mentors, and future funders for their work
Learn about cutting-edge developments that can inform their work
Build collaborative relationships that can accelerate discoveries
Gain visibility that helps advance their careers in this specialized field

While the REACH Award Fund currently supports the Scholar-in-Training award with the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the fund may support attendance at other relevant scientific conferences when appropriate, including but not limited to:

American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO GU)
American Urological Association (AUA)
International Kidney Cancer Symposium
Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC)

Award Details

Each $1,500 REACH Award helps provide funding toward:

Conference registration fees (if applicable)
Travel expenses to attend scientific meetings
Accommodation during the conference

By supporting the REACH Award Fund, you're directly investing in the future of chromophobe RCC research and helping to build the next generation of scientists committed to understanding and treating this rare form of kidney cancer.

Our goal is to fund three REACH Awards annually ($4,500 total), ensuring consistent support for emerging talent in chromophobe research.
