The American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the Triological Society are offering a competitive grant program to provide supplemental funding to an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon who has recently received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08/K23). Specifically, the grant will be given to a new NIH award recipient or to a surgeon who has an existing award with a minimum of three years remaining in the funding period as of June 1, 2014.
This grant is being offered to facilitate the research career development of otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons, with the expectation that the awardee will have sufficient pilot data to submit a competitive R01 proposal before the K award ends. This grant provides financial support totaling $80,000 per year for up to five years, or for the remainder of the term of existing grants, to supplement the K08/K23 awards. Funding is dependent upon receipt of meritorious applications.
The application deadline is May 23, 2014. For further details please see the Triological Society’s website. For additional information, contact info@triological.org.
