Goals include: (1) Increase the capacity of the urology research community by leveraging existing Urology Center resources; and (2) Support generation of preliminary data that can be used for future grant applications
- Depending on funds available, applicants may request up to $100,000 Direct Costs each year for a maximum Project Period of two years.
