Pfizer Inc and AUA Foundation Are Pleased to Announce the
2011 OAB-LUTS Competitive Research Awards Programs
To encourage academic research careers in female urology and bladder dysfunction,
Pfizer Inc and the American Urological Association (AUA) Foundation, in collaboration with Society for Urodynamics and Female Urology (SUFU), have partnered to offer two competitive research awards programs.
Pfizer/AUA Foundation Female Urology and Voiding Dysfunction Research Training Awards
The Research Training Awards track will allow mentors with established research programs in female urology and
voiding dysfunction to submit proposals for established or to-be-named
trainees. Up to three grants, each up to $37,500 per year for a period of two
consecutive years will be awarded.
Pfizer/AUA Foundation Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) and Bladder Dysfunction Research Exploration Awards
The goal of the Research Exploration Awards track is to encourage research by MD and PhD researchers to advance the
understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying the function of the lower
urinary tract and the pathobiology underlying Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
(LUTS) and bladder dysfunction. Investigators at the doctoral level are
eligible to apply for up to $75,000 to support their research for an 18-month
performance period. Funds may be used to cover salary, research supplies,
technical support, animal costs and other research related costs. Up to three
grants will be awarded.
