Please see the following Prestigious Awards

Meritorious Research Award.

This award is the highest award of the Society and recognizes a researcher (basic, translational or clinical) who has made significant contributions to the field of urologic research. Accomplishments of note should include publications, participation on distinguished panels, advisory roles and overall contributions to the field of urology research. Nominees will be contacted and asked to submit a cover letter highlighting their contributions to urologic research along with their most recent CV to Marty Roth, Executive Director at [email protected].

Distinguished Service Award.

This award is bestowed annually to recognize an SBUR member who has provided exemplary service to the Society over a period of time. This may include serving as Chair of committee(s), member of the Executive Committee, officer of the Society, Chair of an Annual Meeting Program, and other dedicated efforts. Further consideration is given to additional service to the field of urologic research as a whole. The recipient does not have to be a strong researcher as the focus here is on service. Nominees will be contacted and asked to submit a cover letter highlighting their contributions to urologic research along with their most recent CV to Marty Roth, Executive Director at [email protected].

Minority Scholar Award.

The National Institutes of Health reports that the following racial and ethnic groups are underrepresented in biomedical research: Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders are underrepresented in biomedical research. Therefore, SBUR has instituted the Minority Scholar Award in strong support of these researchers. The Award will be presented to new to mid-level investigators who have made significant contributions to Urologic Research. This award will be administered through the SBUR Awards Committee in the same manner as all the other SBUR awards. Nominees will be contacted and asked to submit a cover letter highlighting their contributions to urologic research along with their most recent CV to Marty Roth, Executive Director at [email protected].

Young Investigator Award.

The SBUR Young Investigator are given to SBUR members who are under the age of 45, within 5 years of their first faculty position, and have made significant contributions to Urologic Research.  Eligible candidates should submit a cover letter highlighting their contributions to urologic research along with a CV by August 15 to Marty Roth, Executive Director at [email protected].

The awards committee reviews the applications and determines the awardees based on their academic accomplishments. The winners will be notified by the SBUR President in October and will receive a monetary award and certificate, as well as recognition on the SBUR website. Winners are also expected to participate in the annual meeting.

Names of nominees, their institutions and contact information should be send to Marty Roth, Executive Director at [email protected] by August 15. Please specify what award you are nominating a candidate for in the subject line of the email.
