CALL FOR APPLICATIONS -- 2010 DRF
CENTURION CLINICAL RESEARCH AWARD
Deafness Research Foundation (DRF) is partnering
with the American Academy of Otolaryngology- Head
and Neck Surgery's (AAO-HNS) CORE Grants Program to
offer a one-year grant of $25,000 for clinical
research in the hearing and balance sciences. The
purpose of this award is to support clinical
research projects in hearing and balance science.
Clinical research involves human participants and
may be directed toward diagnosis, epidemiology,
genetics, clinical pathophysiology, and treatment.
ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible for consideration,
candidates for this award should hold the M.D.,
Ph.D., or equivalent degrees as well as a faculty
or post-doctoral appointment and demonstrate
experience and strong research training as well as
sufficient institutional support (facilities, time,
and mentorship) to carry out the proposed work.
Ideal candidate should be in their first 5 years
after completion of formal training. A faculty
mentor should be identified and a letter of support
and availability should be included in the
application. Previous DRF or AAO-HNS Foundation
research grant recipients are eligible to compete
for this grant. However, candidates who have
successfully obtained funding from a private or
federal funding agency for the same research are
ineligible. Candidates who have applied for support
of the same research from other funding sources,
and who are notified of an award from both another
agency and from DRF must choose only one of the
awards.

the National Institutes of Health. All applications
must be completed and submitted online through
