Funding is available for research training in all urologic disease areas and across all research types: basic, translational, clinical, and health services/outcomes. Some awards focus on the following specific research areas:
The 2016 competition will also include awards sponsored by some of the 15 new endowments that have been established over the past two years. We thank the AUA and these organizations for their support of the 2016 competition!
We also thank the rest of our 2016 partners – the AUA Mid-Atlantic Section, the AUA New York Section, the AUA North Central Section, the AUA New England Section, the Interstitial Cystitis Association, the Kidney Cancer Association, Olympus, Boston Scientific, the “Friends of Joe” and Dornier MedTech for their support!
Research Scholar Awards are granted based on the objective evaluation of all aspects of eligibility criteria, scientific review, and the financial portfolio available at the time the grants are finalized by the Urology Care Foundation. The Urology Care Foundation reserves the right for final approval for any/all awards provided through the program.
