To be eligible to compete for a 2023 Rising Stars in Urology Research Award, the applicant must, by September 1, 2023:
• Be a board-certified or -eligible urologist or be participating in a training program to obtain board certification in urology.
• Hold an extramural, peer-reviewed career development award. Examples include K07, K08, or K23 awards from the National Institutes of Health, or career development-type grants from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, American Cancer Society, and others.
• Have at least two full years remaining on the period of performance for the career development award with not less than 50% protected time for research
This Rising Stars in Urology Research Award program provides supplemental salary support to physician-scientist career development award recipients to ensure that their protected time for research remains stable and that their salary compensation is more competitive with their non-research urology faculty peers. Salary supplements will be awarded for a period of up to five years, commensurate with the time remaining on the existing career development award, with escalating payments each year to total up to $200,000.
