This grant, offered by the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU) with support from Laborie, seeks to fund research projects that advance the science and clinical practice of urodynamics (UDS). Projects may focus on topics such as establishing normative pressure values for various catheter types, evaluating the learning curve in urodynamics among novice practitioners, or comparing ambulatory versus traditional in-office urodynamics. Proposals are peer-reviewed for significance, innovation, approach, and investigator qualifications. Awardees are expected to present findings at a SUFU Annual Meeting and submit manuscripts to the journal Neurourology and Urodynamics.
