Leadership in Education, Achievement and Diversity (LEAD) Program
Established in 2021, the Leadership in Education, Achievement and Diversity (LEAD) Program supports urology residents from racial and ethnic backgrounds that are underrepresented in urologic research. These residents will conduct mentored research, engage in AUA research education opportunities and be championed through networking events as they develop successful research careers and better serve the urology patient community.
Program participants will have access to:
- Research funding.
- Mentorship through the AUA’s Urology Scientific Mentoring and Research Training (USMART) Academy, which provides impactful, external mentorship between developing urology researchers and established investigators with exemplary track records of leadership and mentorship.
- Networking opportunities through the annual Urology Care Foundation Research Honors Program and Reception.
- Travel support to attend scientific conferences and present their research.
- The Early-Career Investigators Workshop to develop a solid foundation for grant writing.
The 2023 competition is now closed. Information on the 2024 competition will be available in the fall. Please contact grantsmanager@auanet.org for more information.
