The 5 annual CAIRIBU Meeting (CAIRIBU = Collaborating for the Advancement of Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology) was held November 29-December 2, 2022 in Bethesda, MD and organized by the CAIRIBU (U24) Interactions Core. Altogether, nearly 100 individuals participated, representing U54 Urology OBrien Centers, P20 Urology Centers, and K12 Urology Career Development Programs currently and previously funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Several NIDDK Program Officers participated in the meeting, including those representing the NIDDK Central Repository and several urologic research consortia. The meeting included 36 presentations in 5 scientific sessions plus a take-home message session, 2 keynote (invited) speakers, networking and interactions sessions, and 3 poster sessions during which 44 posters were presented. Additionally, preceding the meeting was a 3-hour event targeting educational and career development needs of CAIRIBU trainees and early-stage investigators. Meeting attendees participated in lively interactive discussions for all events. The science presented during scientific and poster sessions represented the various areas of research among CAIRIBU and CAIRIBU-affiliated investigators. They included non-malignant prostate and lower urinary tract dysfunction; urinary tract microbes and infection; bladder function and physiology; neurourology in the lower urinary tract; and obstructions and calculi in the urinary tract. A primary objective of the CAIRIBU Interactions Core is to develop metrics for evaluating collaborative research initiatives. This requires understanding engagement within the CAIRIBU Community and whether it leads to cross-disciplinary interactions and collaborative research products and resources. The annual CAIRIBU meeting is one window through which the outcomes and direction of the CAIRIBU Community may be observed.
第五届年度CAIRIBU会议（CAIRIBU意为良性泌尿学跨学科研究协作）于2022年11月29日至12月2日在马里兰州贝塞斯达举行，由CAIRIBU（U24）互动核心组织。共有近100人参加，代表了目前和以前由美国国立糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所（NIDDK）资助的U54泌尿学奥布赖恩中心、P20泌尿学中心以及K12泌尿学职业发展项目。几位NIDDK项目官员参加了会议，包括代表NIDDK中央储存库和几个泌尿学研究联盟的官员。会议包括5场科学会议中的36场报告以及一个总结信息环节、2位主旨（特邀）演讲者、交流互动环节，还有3场海报展示环节，期间展示了44张海报。此外，在会议之前还举办了一场为期3小时的活动，针对CAIRIBU学员和早期研究人员的教育和职业发展需求。会议参与者积极参与了所有活动的互动讨论。科学会议和海报展示环节展示的科学内容代表了CAIRIBU及其附属研究人员的各个研究领域。这些领域包括非恶性前列腺和下尿路功能障碍；尿路微生物与感染；膀胱功能与生理学；下尿路神经泌尿学；以及尿路梗阻与结石。CAIRIBU互动核心的一个主要目标是制定评估合作研究计划的指标。这需要了解CAIRIBU社区内部的参与情况，以及它是否能促成跨学科互动以及合作研究成果和资源。年度CAIRIBU会议是观察CAIRIBU社区成果和方向的一个窗口。
