Summary: Funds one-year research projects advancing hearing and balance science, prioritizing academic-clinical partnerships that improve audiology care and patient outcomes.
The Investigator Research Grant, offered by the American Academy of Audiology and its Foundation, supports both basic and applied research in hearing and balance. The program aims to advance the audiology profession by funding projects that enhance the evaluation and management of hearing loss and balance disorders. Priority is given to proposals that demonstrate academic-clinical partnerships, especially those focused on the impact of hearing screening on patient care and quality of life, or on patient safety and direct access to audiology services. Grants are awarded for one-year research projects and are determined based on the merit of the proposal.
