The Urology Care Foundation is dedicated to advancing urology research, global humanitarian efforts and developing patient education to improve treatments and find cures for urologic diseases, such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and over 100 adult and pediatric urologic conditions and diseases.   

We collaborate with researchers, healthcare professionals, patients and caregivers to improve patients’ lives. The Foundation is the official foundation of the American Urological Association (AUA). Since 1987, our unique relationship with the AUA, an organization of approximately 23,000 urologists, has positioned the Foundation as a leading advocate in urologic health, uniquely qualified to speak on behalf of urology. 

The Foundation’s Research Scholars Program, has provided support to promising young urology researchers for more than 43 years. The Foundation continues to provide the most accurate and current urological information and education to patients. 

The Foundation works to fund urologic research and research training in support of innovative treatments to improve the quality of patients’ lives. Since 1975, the Research Awards Program has provided more than 850 outstanding young scientists with over $35 million in research funding dedicated to preventing, diagnosing and treating urologic conditions. Research made possible by the Foundation has led to improvements in patient care such as advances in patient care in prostate, bladder and kidney cancers, dietary interventions that improve urologic cancer outcomes; as well as more effective treatment of kidney stones, preservation of fertility in male cancer patients and much more.  We support every stage of research to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from urologic disease.  

The Urology Care Foundation new Humanitarian program aims to support individuals and organizations who provide direct urologic patient care for impoverished individuals and communities in underserved areas, either within the United States or outside the United States.  

The Foundation is a leading advocate for patients, healthcare professionals and caregivers. We work to provide the most accurate and current urologic information, education and care to improve patients' lives.
