LINKS TO RESEARCH PROJECTS, NETWORKS, AND CONSORTIA RELATED TO BENIGN UROLOGY
- GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP). GUDMAP provides data and tools that facilitate research on the GenitoUrinary (GU) tract for the scientific and medical community.
- Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP)
- Multi-Disciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP Research Network). The MAPP Research Network conducts collaborative research on urological chronic pelvic pain disorders—specifically, interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).
- NIDDK Information Network (dkNET). dkNET is a research resource information portal that helps researchers find resources relevant to their research and keep up to date on new tools, services and mandates to support robust and reproducible science.
- dkNET Resource Links: Urology Research Related Resources | Resource Reports | Discovery Portal | Suggested Data Repositories | Research Data Management | Authentication Reports | Hypothesis Center
- dkNET Training: Webinar Series | YouTube channel (webinar recordings, tutorials)
- Pediatric KIDney Stone (PKIDS) Care Improvement Network. PEDSnet does research to improve the health and lives of children. PEDSnet is a large, national community of hospitals and healthcare organizations, researchers and clinicians, and patients and families. The community works together to identify the most important research questions that can reduce children’s suffering and support their healthy development.
- Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium. PLUS is a group of researchers who work at nine universities across the United States. PLUS understands that bladder health is an important topic that can affect women and girls in a lot of ways – and we don’t fully understand many of them.
- Rebuilding a Kidney (RBK)
- Symptoms of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network (LURN). LURN is a team of surgeons, doctors and medical research professionals have been assembled to study Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction.
- Urinary Stone Disease Research Network (USDRN). The USDRN is an NIDDK-funded consortium assembled to study kidney stone prevention and urinary stent pain. The PUSH study (Prevention of Urinary Stones with Hydration) is accepting remote participants. Information about getting your patients involved
