About the Grant:
AHRF offers up to five $1,000 awards to otolaryngology residents to support research projects during their residency. To be eligible, residents must be from the Chicago programs (Loyola, Northwestern, Rosalind Franklin University, Rush University, University of Illinois, or University of Chicago) or schools represented by members of our Board or Research Committee (Washington University, St. Louis, MO; University of Miami, FL; Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX).
Proposals are evaluated based on criteria including novelty, significance, relevance to the mission of AHRF, feasibility, investigator’s prior work, approach, statistical analysis/outcome measures, and budget justification. Comments are not provided to applicants.
Residency grants will be paid in January. However, to accommodate July-to-June residency program years, grant recipients need to submit progress reports by the end of October of the year the grant was awarded. Recipients also must notify AHRF in advance of any publication of their research funded by the Foundation. Recipients should notify AHRF if any aspect of their funded research is reported in the media. It is our goal to highlight research results and publications.
