Applications for a competitive grant program sponsored by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the Triological Society to provide supplemental funding to otolaryngologists–head and neck surgeons who have received a new National Institutes of Health Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08/K23), or who have an existing award with a minimum of three years remaining in the funding period as of June 1, 2016, are due May 26, 2016. This award is intended 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 conclusion of the K award period. This award provides financial support in the amount of $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.
