Kevin Campbell, MD (class of 2020) has officially signed on to return to UF Urology after completion of his advanced fellowship training in male infertility and andrology with Larry Lipschultz, MD at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. His fellowship is one of the top training sites worldwide for his specialty. His return will bring critical expertise and fill much needed clinical and educational needs at UF Health and UF College of Medicine. He will begin his practice in July 2021.

“I am extremely excited for our program as our full service subspecialty care is now complete with the hiring of Kevin Campbell who will be specializing in male infertility and andrology as well as supplement general urology care within our department. Dr. Campbell’s expertise in male infertility will dovetail with our reproductive endocrinology colleagues within the gynecology department who will jointly provide care for couples suffering from both female and male factor infertility in our region. Dr. Campbell’s contributions to education will also help round out our commitment to comprehensive urology training for our residency program. Lastly, the return of former alumni to the department signifies a deep appreciation for the unique culture of collaboration, support and clinical and educational excellence that UF Urology is known for.”

“I am extremely excited for JB Mason as well as our program. As a chair, it is incredibly rewarding to see former trainees grow their professional careers and achieve excellence in not only clinical care and education, but also in leadership. JB has done an outstanding job bringing integrity and collegiality to the position as chief of urology and showing great poise during this process. He continues to build the urology faculty alongside our efforts at UF College of Medicine and will no doubt succeed in this important position as he has always tackled each challenge with incredible focus, determination as well as a positive outlook.”

Chairman, Department of Urology

Application Deadline is Monday, January 25, 2021

Through the generous philanthropic support to the department of urology and the UF Health Cancer Center (UFHCC), we are pleased to announce a special call for pilot grant applications to foster new collaborative and transdisciplinary research projects focusing on Prostate, Kidney and Bladder cancers. These three cancers are among the top 10 cancers impacting our catchment area. 

We are seeking new synergistic and innovative research proposals spanning the research continuum from basic sciences to community-participatory research that will generate preliminary data to have a high probability of leading to long-term externally peer-reviewed funding.

This funding opportunity recognizes:

• The research is innovative and addresses the needs of our catchment area,
• There exists a great need to advance our understanding of the genetics, biology and risk factor determinants of Prostate, Kidney and Bladder cancers; and, 
• Understanding cancer symptoms and cancer treatment toxicities are essential in developing new strategies for clinical trials and implement new methods to improve cancer symptom management, survivorship and palliative care.

The specific goals of this special call are to:

• Identify new research opportunities focused on Prostate, Kidney and Bladder cancers;
• Address identified needs of our catchment area;
• Create synergies and collaborations among UFHCC members and other members of the main UF campus that will lead to impactful publications;
• Stimulate future program-type applications for federal or national extramural peer-reviewed funding.

We anticipate awarding one proposal focused in one of the three areas for up to $50,000 maximum, dependent on quality of applications received and budget availability. Pilots awarded are anticipated to be awarded for a 12-month period.

Funds are expected to be released, and projects awarded by April 1, 2021.

Applications should be submitted to Natalie Roman, UFHCC Research Administration and to researchadmin@cancer.ufl.edu.
