Description
The Multi-Centered Clinical Cooperative Seed Grant is a new initiative from the American Otological Society (AOS), launching in 2026, to foster collaborative, multi-site clinical studies in otology and neurotology. This seed grant is designed to help research teams establish the infrastructure and coordination necessary for future large-scale clinical trials. The program welcomes proposals addressing all aspects of ear disorders, including research into the normal function of the cochlea, labyrinth, or central auditory and vestibular systems, provided the work advances understanding, diagnosis, or treatment of otological disorders. The grant especially encourages applications from junior investigators and supports innovative, exploratory projects that may not qualify for traditional funding.
