The CAIRIBU Interactions Core is working with various CAIRIBU Community leaders to develop research interest groups around specific topics in urology research. The Uro-Aging Research Interest Group (UroAging RIG) will connect uro-aging interested CAIRIBU and non-CAIRIBU investigators from a variety of fields such as urology, urogynecology, geroscience, neurology, neuro-urology, urobiome, nutrition, toxicology, and bioinformatics. As a way to kick-start this group, we will schedule monthly knowledge exchanges as a way to get to know each other, discuss recent research, develop collaborations, and strategize on ways to advance uro-aging research. We meet virtually every fourth Monday. ALL are welcome. Join us on Monday, October 27 at 3:00 PM ET (2 PM CT | 12 PM PT) to hear from K12 Scholar Natasha Wilkins, PhD (Duke University) who will present "Current neuromodulation options for neurogenic pelvic dysfunction in the elderly."

The ECIW provides invited early-career physician-scientists and urologic researchers with an opportunity to learn and receive mentorship from established, well-funded investigators in urologic research. Applications for 2025 are closed. 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.
