Description

The objective of the Polsky Urologic Cancer Institute Research Award is to increase understanding of urologic cancers and enable novel approaches to the prevention, detection and treatment of these cancers. Research supported through this mechanism should directly address questions in basic, clinical or translational urologic cancer research and result in meaningful data that could lead to subsequent extramural funding. Eligibility Awards are open to scientists (PhD) and physician-scientists (MD or MD/PhD) with a faculty appointment at an academic institution in the United States.
