The fight against urology disease is at the heart of everything we do. The man poised to stand at the helm of our Science and Education Committee (SEC) to make sure we succeed in our fight is Mr Grant Stewart. He will take over in March from Professor John Kelly, who has served as TUF SEC Chairman for five years.
The SEC is responsible for the development and assessment of The Foundation’s medical education and training programmes and the review and administration of its grant making policy. During Professor Kelly’s tenure, TUF has expanded its grant making programmes and opened up funding to urology nurses.
Mr Stewart said: “I have been proud to serve as a member of the SEC under Prof Kelly’s leadership.
“The SEC is a fantastic group of urology research experts and lay members and we always have an interesting discussion around the grants that come through.
“John steers our discussions through to an appropriate and agreed resolution and I’m honoured to follow in his footsteps.
“The SEC assesses the applications and advises TUF on which are the most important to invest in. As an academic urologist I have a very strong interest in research, and I value the importance of TUF as a funder of urology research so I am so I am really looking forward to taking up this new role.
“Part of our remit is to identify the up and coming future stars of urology. We are looking for those with an extra spark in their eye, a future leader in our speciality.”
As SEC chairman, Mr Stewart will also become a member of TUF’s Board of Trustees.
Research applications are peer reviewed and TUF is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities. Therefore donors can be confident that their donations will be put to good effect.
