The American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO) awards this grant annually to support innovative research directly relevant to pediatric otolaryngology. Offered through the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery’s Centralized Otolaryngology Research Efforts (CORE) process, it is open to MD, PhD, and DMD researchers applying individually or through qualifying institutions.
The grant supports practical research resources, including consultant expertise, research assistants, technical personnel, computing resources, experimental animals, laboratory supplies and services, and project-related publication expenses. ASPO prefers projects that can be completed within one year, while considering exceptional proposals requiring longer periods. Scientific review takes place through the CORE Study Section, with final funding decisions made by the ASPO Board.
