Call for Grant Proposals

The AUGS Foundation together with the June Allyson Foundation has awarded over $2 million in grants to AUGS members since 1998. The Foundation serves the medical profession by supporting promising, innovative research regarding the causes, prevention, cure and treatment of pelvic floor disorders.

Foundation research funds are made available to qualified AUGS members to pursue their research question. Goals of the mentored research grant program are to support the pilot projects to help fulfill the AUGS Foundation mission of supporting novel clinical, translational, and bench research directions and enabling early career investigators to obtain future independent funding for research focused on female pelvic medicine.

The next grant cycle will open in January 2024.
