Fellows Pelvic Research Network

The purpose of the Fellows’ Pelvic Research Network (FPRN®) is to enable fellows to work together cooperatively and conduct multi-center pelvic floor research projects.


In July 2014, SGS and AUGS announced the formation of a subgroup of the FPRN®. AUGS is excited to be participating with SGS on this very successful program for FPMRS Fellows. The AUGS Research Committee will work with the SGS Research Committee to provide guidance and oversight to the AUGS-SGS FPRN subgroup. Meetings will occur at both SGS and AUGS annual meetings.
