Collaborating for the Advancement of Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology
Two year awards available to SUFU members ranging from $25K - $30K. [Deadline: 12/16/26.]
Supports interdisciplinary research teams to tackle a single focused scientific goal with a highly integrated, synergistic approach. Program goals should not be achieveable through individual efforts or a collection of projects. [Expires 9/27/29.]
For research on paralysis, including activities investigating problems associated with neurological disorders such as bladder/bowel function and sexual function. [Deadline: 12/11/26.]
For efforts to disseminate resources for integration into neuroscience research practice. The resource(s) should be relevant to the goals of the BRAIN Initiative, shared broadly to the neuroscience community and address compelling needs of neuroscience researchers that are otherwise unavailable or impractical in their current form. May be relevant to research pertaining to the spinal cord and brain-bladder connections. [Posted 2/9/2026. Expires 10/7/2028.]
Supports early-career investigators engaged in basic or clinical research that may lead to a better understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Priority is given to candidates who may not have received substantial funding from other private awards yet have highly promising scientific careers. [Annual deadline: 2/1.]
Funds basic research in vertebrate and invertebrate neurobiology in the United States, specifically concerning neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other complex functions of the whole organism as these relate to behavior. 3y funding, 2y renewals available [Annual LOI deadlines: 1/15, 4/15, 10/1.]
Jim Hokanson, PhD, prior K12 scholar in the Duke KURe program, and Kim Keil Stietz, PhD, Biomed Core Co-Director of the CAIRIBU Urology O'Brien Center, were both recently awarded CAIRIBU Interactions Core Collaboration Awards.
