The American Otological Society Research Grant Award funds innovative research to advance understanding, diagnosis, or treatment of ear disorders, with a focus on novel science and junior investigators.
Funder: American Otological Society
Due Dates: November 1, 2026 (Letter of Intent) | January 31, 2027 (Full application)
Funding Amounts: Up to $55,000 for one year per award.
Summary: Supports innovative, hypothesis-driven research in ear sciences to advance the understanding, diagnosis, or treatment of otological disorders.
Key Information: Strong emphasis on junior investigators and novel research directions.
The American Otological Society Research Grant Award is designed to fund innovative, hypothesis-driven projects in the sciences related to the ear, including hearing and balance. The program aims to advance the understanding, diagnosis, or treatment of otological disorders and is particularly supportive of junior investigators and research that may be too exploratory or novel for other funding sources. Eligible projects may address ear disorders directly or investigate the normal function of the cochlea, labyrinth, or central auditory and vestibular systems, provided the proposal demonstrates clear relevance to otological health.
