Purpose

The purpose of the CAIRIBU Annual Meeting is to bring together the Directors and research teams of the NIDDK U54 Urology O'Brien Centers, the FORWARD P20 Centers for Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology, and the Multidisciplinary K12 Urologic Research (KURe) and Urological Epidemiology (UroEpi) Institutional Research Career Development Programs. Any and all investigators and trainees engaged in any form of non-malignant urology research are encouraged to attend and participate in the meeting.

Meeting Objectives

Facilitate the sharing of research resources across the CAIRIBU community.
Support the development of students and early-career scientists as future leaders in benign urology.
Highlight the work of trainees and early-stage investigators through interactive poster sessions featuring selected abstracts.

Background

These Centers and Programs are part of the CAIRIBU umbrella - Collaborating for the Advancement of Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology. The annual meeting allows for the exchange of scientific knowledge about advances in benign genitourinary research. It provides a platform for building interactions between CAIRIBU Centers and Programs, CAIRIBU investigators, and the broader benign urologic research community.
