Kidney Cancer Research Summit (KCRS21)
We continue to collaborate, share innovations, and discuss research progress at our annual summit.
KCRS21
October 7-8, 2021
KCRS21 consisted of an in-person meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and also a hybrid format that included a concurrent interactive program broadcast online via Zoom webinar.
KCRS is an annual meeting held in October which focuses on basic, translational, and clinical kidney cancer research. This meeting is fueled by the ideas and research funded through the Department of Defense CDMRP-KCRP awards.
The goal for KCRS is to present the important, innovative research funded by the KCRP. We also aim to connect researchers from around the world to share their work.
This years dynamic, interactive meeting focused on the latest basic science, translational, and clinical research in kidney cancer.

KidneyCAN is proud to have held the 3rd annual Kidney Cancer Research Summit, a meeting focused on basic and translational science, as well as cutting edge translational research, in October 2021.
This work is fueled by the funding from the Department of Defense CDMRP – KCRP.
It’s one of the most exciting things I’ve ever participated in. We’re bringing together clinicians, physician scientists, and bench scientists to talk about kidney cancer research. The goal is to invigorate the science and spur breakthroughs.

Standing tall in front of the Capitol Building, Kathleen champions the fight against #kidneycancer, inspired by the memory of her husband, Ken Moore, who passed in July 2021.

✅ A $60 million appropriation for the #KCRP for FY24.
✅ $50.9 billion for the NIH, including a $9.988 billion appropriation for the NCI.
✅ Long-term #telehealth legislation.
✅ Sustainable funding for medical #research and ensuring the #patientvoice is central in legislative policy, especially in promoting diverse #clinicaltrial enrollment.
Together, we believe in a future with early detection, less toxic treatments, and ultimately, cures for kidney cancer.
