Jointly sponsored by the American Neurotology Society (ANS) and the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF), this award supports research among new full-time academic surgeons. Projects should address the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diseases, disorders, or conditions affecting the peripheral or central auditory and/or vestibular system. Clinical and translational research, as well as basic research with clear and demonstrable clinical relevance, are supported.
The award is a preliminary step in clinical investigator career development.
