The mission of the Societies for Pediatric Urology is to advance the specialty of pediatric urology through highly focused research and educational initiatives. Their aim is to improve the care of young patients by fostering innovative research and supporting the professional growth of its members.
The Societies for Pediatric Urology sponsors an annual research grant of up to $40,000, targeting all areas of pediatric urological research including basic science, translational, and clinical research. The grant's primary purpose is to foster pediatric urological research among junior and mid-level faculty or attendings (MD, MD/PhD, or PhD) and to encourage members of the Societies for Pediatric Urology to create innovative research proposals. This initiative aims to help researchers secure more sustainable external funding, thereby advancing the field of pediatric urology.
