Description
The Rising Stars in Urology Research Award program is designed to provide up to five years of supplemental salary support to urologists who have already secured career development awards from the NIH or other major funding organizations. The goal is to ensure that the salary compensation for researchers remains competitive with clinical urology peers, thereby enabling recipients to dedicate significant effort to research. The program aims to foster the development of urologist-scientists who will advance the understanding, prevention, treatment, and cure of urologic diseases, ultimately improving patient care.
