The Early-Career Investigators Workshop (ECIW) is urology’s premier research grant proposal skill development course. Serving the dynamic and evolving needs of the next generation of leading surgeon-investigators and research-scientists, the ECIW equips participants with the essential tools and transformational support to successfully compete for federal and private funding awards to advance urological research.
Participant experience is customized into Early and Advanced Tracks, with designation based on preparedness to submit major Career Development Award (e.g. NIH K, VA CDA, etc.) proposals within 1 year or less (Advanced Track) or 1 year or greater (Early Track) from workshop completion.
Talented investigators engaging in research efforts across the entire spectrum of urological disease pathologies and research modalities are encouraged to apply.
