AUA Data Research Program

The AUA Data Research Program (formerly AUA Data Grants) supports clinical and workforce research projects using data from AUA Data Repository, to address key knowledge gaps and emerging research questions related to urological care, workforce development and health policy.

Participants will use real-world clinical data from AUA Quality (AQUA) Registry and/or population-representative AUA Annual Census data to conduct clinical and/or workforce studies. Participants will receive data access, full statistical analysis support for their research project, and a $2,000 stipend for dissemination costs.

The 2026 application cycle has closed. Thank you to all who applied. Please check back next year for 2027. Please Contact dataservices@auanet.org with any questions.
