The American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the Triological Society have announced a competitive grant program to provide supplemental funding to otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons who have received a new NIH (National Institutes of Health) Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08/K23), or have an existing award with a minimum of three years remaining in the funding period as of October 1, 2019.
This award is being offered as a means 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 prior to the conclusion of the K-award. 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.
The application deadline is May 20. For further details, visit the Triological Society’s website or contact info@triological.org.
