2014 Annual Report - Urology Care Foundation

Advancing urologic research and
education to improve patients’ lives.
Letter from the Executive Director
Dear Friend of the Foundation,
Mission
As we reflect on this past year, we are pleased to present to you our 2014-2015 annual report calendar.
This annual report represents an entire year of growth and accomplishments. This past year has been
exceptional in terms of boosting our sustainability and impact as we announced our new Urology Care
Foundation Board of Directors. We have received 13 new endowments to support our commitment to
advance urologic research. Our website, UrologyHealth.org, has garnered 4.5 million visitors this past
year, an increase of more than 2.5 million from the previous year. The Foundation, supported by the
loyalty of our committed partners and donors, remains a leading advocate for patients, researchers, health
care professionals and caregivers.
In 2015, we are celebrating our 40-year history of funding urologic research early career investigators.
Since 1975, we have supported and ignited the careers of nearly 600 researchers, totaling over $20 million
in awards and scholarships. Our early career investigator training programs and awards are a highly
regarded and much-desired opportunity for young scientists to begin a strong career in urologic research.
We are incredibly grateful for your continued support, which has not only sustained this program, but
driven its success. We look forward to the bright future of the Foundation, with a positive outlook for many
years to come.
The Urology Care Foundation is raising awareness through a series of national public health campaigns to
address some common urologic concerns: Overactive Bladder (It’s Time to Talk about OAB), Stress Urinary
Incontinence (It’s Time to Talk about SUI ) and Prostate Cancer (Know Your Stats About Prostate Cancer ® ). Since its
inception in 2008, our Know Your Stats® campaign has garnered more than 600 million media impressions,
allowing us to reach a vast audience with critical messages and resources.
The Urology Care Foundation is the
world’s leading nonprofit urological
health foundation — and the
official foundation of the American
Urological Association. We partner
with physicians, researchers, health
care professionals, patients, caregivers,
families and the public to support and
improve the prevention, detection
and treatment of urological diseases
through research and education.
Vision
To support urological research, and to
be the premier provider and resource
for the most current, comprehensive
and reliable urologic health information
for patients and the public.
This annual report reflects our accomplishments as a dedicated leader in advancing urologic research and
education to improve patients’ lives, as well as our vision and goals for the future. Generous supporters
like you are vital to sustaining the progress our organization has made in the field of urology and our
commitment to ensuring a better future for those who suffer from urologic diseases. We thank you again
for your support, commitment and dedication.
Together, we are ensuring the future of urologic health.
Gratefully,
Michael T. Sheppard, CPA, CAE

Advancing Urology Care through Research
The AUA and the Urology Care Foundation are paving
the way for advancements in urological research and
patient care through scholarly exchange.
Each year we host scientific meetings and workshops
to educate researchers on state-of-the-art science
and novel research techniques. In addition to the
educational value of the science presented at the
meetings, researchers and surgeon-scientists greatly
benefit from the opportunities to network with
other investigators to discuss techniques, exchange
information on resources such as data and tissue
registries, and build future collaborations to advance
urologic research and find cures.
Our research conferences include the following:
• Basic Science Symposium
• Urologic Oncology Symposium
• Research Forum
• Early Career Investigator Workshop
• Summer Research Conference

40 Anniversary
th
In 2015, the Urology Care Foundation and the AUA will celebrate our
40-year history of supporting urology research. In that time, over $20
million has been invested to fund and educate more than 600 of the best
urologist-scientists and basic scientists. The combined effort has allowed the
AUA and Urology Care Foundation to lead the way in urologic research and
education to improve patients’ lives.
Many of the key advances in research that are improving treatment options
for patients today have resulted from the work of individuals trained
in research through Foundation scholarships. For each dollar invested,
Foundation scholars received $19.75 in subsequent federal and other grant
monies—nearly a 20:1 return! We are projected to fund 64 projects and
awards totaling over $1.2 million in 2015. Thank you for your continued
support as we reach this monumental accomplishment. Without you, this
wouldn’t be possible.

Research Scholars: Why Your Support is So Vital
Each year, the Urology Care Foundation receives many more applications for Research Scholars Awards than can
be supported through current funding sources (see bar chart). Therefore, the Foundation remains diligent and
dedicated to fostering partnerships with both current and new donors to increase support for urologic research
and continue to make a positive impact for all patients suffering from urologic conditions.

Raising Awareness
Patients don’t have to
suffer in silence.
Many patients, especially those who are older or
female, are reluctant to talk about their urologic
symptoms. The Urology Care Foundation is raising
awareness through a series of national public
health campaigns to let patients know they are not
alone, and there is help. In addition to reaching
recently diagnosed patients, these campaigns are
aimed at people dealing with symptoms in silence
and those most at risk. We help patients take an
active role in their care.

Patient Advocacy Highlights
Last May, the Urology Care Foundation launched its inaugural Patient Advocacy Hub in
collaboration with 16 different patient advocacy organizations. Each organization, who raise
awareness and provide support for those with urologic conditions, were given booth space as part
of the Foundation’s dynamic 2014 AUA Annual Meeting presence in Orlando.
In addition to connecting with meeting attendees, patient advocates had an opportunity to meet
face-to-face with key leaders of legislative priorities in urology. This initiative was made possible
through the generous support from Allergan and Astellas.
The Urology Care Foundation thanks 2014
Patient Advocacy Hub Participants:
• Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support
• Association of Peyronie’s Disease Advocates

Prostate Cancer and Know Your Stats
®
For the past six years, the Urology Care Foundation
has teamed up with the NFL to raise awareness through
the Know Your Stats About Prostate Cancer ® campaign. Visit
KnowYourStats.org to learn more.
The Know Your Stats® campaign is a rallying force to connect,
educate and inspire men across the country to know their risk
and talk to their doctor about whether prostate cancer testing
is right for them. Now entering its sixth season, the campaign
has been seen by more than 100 million Americans since its
inception in 2009.

Bladder Health Month
Urologists treat a number of conditions associated with the bladder, including
incontinence, Interstitial Cystitis, Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections, and bladder
cancer. The Urology Care Foundation supports critical research and research
education in these conditions.
In just the past two years, the Foundation has committed
more than $1 million in research grants to support 17
projects associated with bladder health!
In addition, the Foundation has provided support to the
AUA Office of Research to host workshops and symposia
covering bladder-related topics.
Nearly 500 urologists and researchers have attended
these educational forums to learn about innovative
research from the world’s
top scientists.

OVERACTIVE BLADDER PATIENT ADVOCACY ROUNDTABLE
Eighteen groups participated in a 2014 roundtable held at AUA headquarters to help
identify needs and gaps of overactive bladder (OAB) patients. OAB is a common
health concern, affecting 30 percent of men and 40 percent of women in the United
States, making this roundtable a vital contribution to women and men’s urologic
health. OAB symptoms can get in the way of your work, social life, exercise and
sleep, and can often lead to feelings of embarrassment. Through these roundtable
discussions and collaborations with patient advocates, we are helping OAB patients
take control of their life by managing their symptoms.
