AUA International Residency Grant Program

Purpose
To encourage International Urological Residency Programs to support AUA membership recruitment among International Residents-in-Training.

Qualifications
Both qualifications must be met:

1. Be an approved Urological Residency Program outside of the AUA Section boundaries, and
2. Have 3 or more of your current non-member residents complete an IRIT application by March 26, 2010

AUA staff will develop a list of those Urological Residency Programs meeting these criteria for consideration of award.

How to Enroll

To participate in the International Residency Grant Program, follow these two simple steps:

1. Click here to print and fill out an Enrollment & Information Update Request Form, indicating the number of resident positions in your program. Once you have completed this form please fax it to +1 410-689-3933 or mail it back to the AUA Member Services department.
2. Encourage your residents to apply for AUA Membership online at http://www.auanet.org/IRITGRANT10 between now and March 26.

Selection of Winners
All programs meeting the criteria and verified by AUA staff will have their names publicized during the Annual Meeting and in AUA NEWS. For each resident that completes an application, your program will be entered into the drawing. The more of your residents who apply, the better your chances are at winning! Two winners will be randomly selected from this group to receive a grant of $200 (USD) each.

Use of Award Monies
The grant is to be used to directly support International Residents in Training within their programs. For example, the monies could be used to fund their AUA dues, reimburse travel expenses associated with attending the AUA Annual Meeting or other CME programs, pay for ABU certification fees, as an award to one or more of the International Residents in Training at the Program Director’s discretion or any similar direct support of activities for IRIT Members.

Program Responsibilities

1. To use monies prior to December 31, 2010, and
2. To report back to the AUA on how the monies were disbursed.

Funding Responsibility
The AUA, as a 501(C)(6) organization, makes this grant available to the Urological Residency Programs as stipulated herein. The reporting of such receipts is the responsibility of the recipient.
