LOI DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD!The American Otological Society is committed to the non-promotional advancement of knowledge and science and to a free exchange of medical education in otology and neurotology. The American Otological Society, through its Research Foundation, is offering Research Grant Awards, an Award for a Clinical Trial, full-time Research Training Fellowships, exclusive medical student grants, and a Clinician-Scientist Award. All of the AOS grant awards may involve research on any topic related to ear disorders. The research need not be directly on an otological disease but may explore normal functions of the cochlea, labyrinth or central auditory or vestibular systems. However, the applicant must describe how the proposed research will benefit our understanding, diagnosis or treatment of otological disorders. Research supported by all of the grant mechanisms can relate to any aspects of the ear, hearing and balance disorders. We welcome applications that address quality and safety of care as well as to improve education and training in otology.
LOI DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD!If you would like to submit a grant for consideration of funding in the next cycle, 2024-2025, in ONE PDF, include a LETTER OF INTENT and PI BIOSKETCH (NIH template), including details regarding other existing support, and any potential overlap with your mentor(s) must be submitted by November 1st of the year prior to funding. The letter of intent must state the desired grant mechanism for the proposal (CSA, Fellowship grant, Clinical Investigation, or Research grant), the Principal Investigator, and Institution(s), a working title, with an abstract and Specific Aims (2 page limit on abstract and aims). Biosketches and a cover letter should accompany the 2 page proposal summary, but it is not included as part of the two page summary. The next funding cycle begins July 1, 2024. Biosketches of all personnel are optional, but will be required if invited to submit a full application. Complete applications will be invited from selected applicants based on the Research Advisory Board's review of the letters of intent. Applicants will be notified whether they are invited to submit a full application the first week of December. Completed applications must be received by January 31st. Invited applicants must submit a full application by January 31st
