The American Urological Association (AUA) will be holding its annual Early-Career Investigators Workshop (ECIW) on October 10th-11th, 2025.
The ECIW provides early-career physician-scientists and urologic researchers with an opportunity to learn and receive mentorship from established, well-funded investigators in urologic research. This collaborative workshop offers insights into the scientific review process, information about independent funding sources, and individualized grant writing guidance. By providing participants with a solid grant writing foundation, the next generation of urology researchers gain the skillset to successfully compete for their own research program funding to facilitate future urologic discovery.
The ECIW curriculum consists of the following elements:
- Mentorship
- Didactic Instruction (Virtual and Live)
- Specific Aims Workshop (Live Virtual)
- Grant Funding Mechanisms Webinar
- Individual and Small Group Proposal Reviews and Critiques with Senior Scientific Advisors
- Mock Study Section

Applications for the 2025 program will be accepted until Friday, May 23, 2025.
