The 2024 IUGA Research Grants cycle has now closed.
IUGA offers both Basic Science and Clinical Research Grants to fund original research by an IUGA member. All members conducting research are encouraged to apply, especially fellows/physicians-in-training and allied health members. In an effort to broaden access to research funding, applicants from developing countries, new centers, and/or those with less proven research records are also encouraged to apply. IUGA Research Grants are designed to fund the development of the proposed research project, including all materials and testing, statistical analyses, and services required to complete the research.
The next grant cycle will open in February 2025 and the winners will be announced at the 2025 Annual Meeting in Barcelona. The IUGA Research & Development Committee will review and score all submitted applications and will recommend a recipient in each grant category to the IUGA Board to confirm. Award recipients will be announced to the membership via email, and recipient names will be included on the IUGA website.
"I was privileged to win the IUGA Basic Science Research Award for my proposal titled: The Effect of Local Estrogen Therapy on the Microbiome Composition and Relative Abundance in the Urine of Postmenopausal Women with/without Urinary Tract Infections. With this grant, our team, including Dr. Breffini Anglim, our fellow, and our Associate Scientist, Dr. Shynlova, was able to conduct this study from start to completion. We were able to answer an important question and provide new information that will strengthen the current understanding and treatment strategies of recurrent UTIs in postmenopausal women. This study would not have been possible without the generous support of IUGA."
