Description
This grant supports research projects that address "research gaps" identified by the clinical practice guideline panels of the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF). The award aims to generate clinically significant findings for patients seen by otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons and to foster the development of independent, patient-oriented investigators. Projects should be designed to yield meaningful results within the one-year grant period. Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with their departments for support and resources.
