Description
This opportunity, offered by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) at NIH, funds institutional research education programs (R25 mechanism) designed to recruit and prepare otolaryngology residents and medical students for research careers in biomedical, behavioral, and clinical sciences. The program’s primary focus is on providing mentored research experiences and career development activities, aiming to address the critical need for clinician-investigators in otolaryngology and related fields.
Programs should offer structured, mentored research experiences for medical students (short-term or up to 9 months) and otolaryngology residents (12–24 months, at least 80% research effort), with the goal of facilitating their transition to further research training and career development awards. The program is not intended to support clinical trials led by participants, but participants may gain experience in clinical trials under the supervision of a mentor.
