FMIGS-SGS Subgroup of the Fellows’ Pelvic Research Network (FPRN)®

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Submission Deadline: Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 11:59 EST

What are we looking for?

Feasible, high impact studies that address a gap in our current knowledge and utilize the multi-center nature of our network. Given the typical timeline study designs, including case/control; retrospective cohort; and well-conceived cross-sectional study designs can be enhanced by considering multi-center data access and generation.

How detailed should my proposal be?

Given the short turnaround time from starting fellowship to this deadline, we encourage EVERYONE that is interested to apply, even if the research projects/proposals are in preliminary phases. There will be an opportunity to refine timeline, budget, design and feasibility prior to presentation at AAGL if chosen.

Proposal Presentation

At the FPRN Meeting during the 52nd SGS Annual Scientific Meeting in Phoenix, AZ.

Date: March 23, 2026
Time: 3:10 - 3:30 MST

Location: Grande Ballroom - Salon I
