PhD Scholarship The Foundation has awarded a scholarship for a trainee to complete a PhD as part of their urological training. The scholarship is for $25,000 per year for three years, subject to annual review. Dr Vela has completed his PhD at the end of 2008. A new award has been made to Dr Morgan Pokorny to commence in 2009. Again this project is in conjunction with the University of Queensland. Registrar Grants for CLEAR Course A grant was paid to those registrars who attended the Critical Literature Evaluation and Research (CLEAR) Course in 2009 and have applied Foundation for reimbursement. The current cost of the CLEAR Course is AUD $1075.00. The cost to the Foundation for 2009 was $9244.00 Funding The Foundation during 2009 has made all funds available from its own resources. Total funds awarded for tenure in 2009- 2010 being in excess of $155,000 Donations from members of the Urological Society of Australasia totaled $2480.50 for 2009. A list of donors is appended: Mark Frydenberg; Trung Pham; Edward Korbel; John Miller; Richard McMullin; Henry Woo; Andres Estrugo; Simon Bariol; Glen Coorey; Kwok Kee Wong; Lawrence Hayden; William Lynch; Daniel Marshall; David Van Der Straaten; Michael Rochford; Peter Maher; Bertram Canagasingham; Vignarajah Subramanian; J Yates As previously stated, in keeping with recent changes in conditions of awarding research grants the Foundation requires each recipient to enter into an Intellectual Property agreement with the Foundation. The Foundation is not seeking any returns but needs to protect the Foundation and it directors as required by the companies act. The Financial Statement to 31 December 2009 will be prepared in early 2010 but may not be available for presentation at the AGM in Perth. The Foundation has been affected by the world financial crisis. The extent has been significant enough to force a re-evaluation of some future projects. The Board would like to thank all members who make donations to the Foundation, which is for the benefit of all members of the Society. We also wish to thank the Board of Directors of the Urological Society for providing management and secretarial services. In particular we thank Louise Reeson and Michael Nugara for their ongoing help and assistance during 2009. We welcome Steve Ruthven as a new director of the Foundation being the Vice President of the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand. Directors The present directors of the Trustee (Australasian Urology Pty Limited) are: MJ Rochford (Chairman), WJ Lynch (Secretary Treasurer), R McIlroy, AJ Porter, S Wisniewski, P Bary, S Ruthven. ■ Fellowship and Grants 2010 With the present loss of participation of the medical companies, the level of funding for grants will be reviewed from 2010 both in number and value. All awards will continue to be advertised via the Society Newsletter, website and email. All applications will be forwarded to the Academic Committee of the Foundation for consideration. Closing date will be 31 May 2010. 40 Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand | Annual Report 2009 www.usanz.org.au
