Society for Basic Urologic Research Inc

“The society has their books and records maintained by a third party, the american urological association, inc. (aua). The third party performed other related managerial and administrative functions for which it was compensated by the society.”

“Membership in the society shall be open to any individual working in the field of urology research and to other contributors to this field. There shall be five classes of membership: active, lifetime, in-training, and senior/emeritus and inactive.”

“Only active members, classified as a regular member or a lifetime regular member, shall be eligible for office in the society, with the right to vote on any matter brought before the society. Active members vote for the officers and directors.”

“See explanation for line 7a.”

“The 990 is reviewed first by finance staff of the american urological association, then by the executive director of the society, then by the treasurer of the society before filing.”

“The society leadership adheres to the same disclosure and conflicts of interest policy as the american urological association, but does not have its own written conflict of interest policy. At the beginning of each of its in-person meetings this policy is acknowledged and members are asked to report any potential conflicts that relate to the stated agenda. This is documented in the meeting minutes. All faculty, moderators and planners who are part of scientific meetings also must comply with disclosure requirements which are pertinent to continuing medical education and accreditation.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).”
