Collaborative Research In Pelvic Surgery Consortium(CoRPS)
Supported by the CoRPS Fund in honor of Drs. Cheryl Iglesia, Kim Kenton, and Holly Richter
STRUCTURE / RESEARCH PROCESS / TYPES OF STUDIES / MENTOR ROLES / RESEARCH STUDIES / PUBLICATIONS / CONCEPT PROPOSALS 

The CoRPS was started by former members of the FPRN® who were looking to do collaborative multi-center research. For more than 5 years, they successfully completed many multi-center studies and currently lead a Challenging Case Series in the Blue Journal. Now, the CoRPS has found a more permanent home in SGS and a fund has been created to support it. This fund was established in honor of Drs. Kenton, Iglesia and Richter, who have been involved in the CoRPS as mentors from the beginning. 

The CoRPS is open to all SGS members and nonmembers - particularly early and mid-career attendings - who would like to participate in multi-center research in all subspecialties focused on gynecologic surgery. Those who are still in fellowship training programs should instead pursue involvement in the Fellows Pelvic Research Network (FPRN)®.
