Research Training and Development Grants

CAIRIBU Research Training & Development Grants support CAIRIBU-affiliated non-malignant urology researchers, including investigators, post-doctoral trainees, students, lab technicians, and research assistants by covering travel-related expenses (e.g., ground or air transportation, lodging, per diems) associated with training for the purpose of advancing the benign urology research capacity of a CAIRIBU Center or Program, an individual in a CAIRIBU Center or Program, or an individual from the broader benign urology research community – up to $3,500 per award is available.

Examples may include:

• Spending several days with an expert from a CAIRIBU Center or Program (or, for those within a CAIRIBU Center or Program, from some other expert) to learn some experimental technique or process
• Participating in a “hands-on” training session or workshop related to the trainee’s work or career
• Some other educational experience directly related to the applicant’s benign urology research program or career

While applications from investigators at any career stage are welcome, those from early investigators, trainees, and research staff will be prioritized
