The AUA offers a portfolio of mentored research training awards to recruit outstanding young investigators into urologic research and foster their career success.

• Clinical and postdoctoral fellows who are no more than five years beyond completing a doctorate or residency
• Early career investigators who are in the first five years after beginning a faculty position

The 2022 competition is now closed. Please check back in summer 2022 for next year's competition.
