Overview
AHRF funds five to ten hearing- and balance-disorder research projects per year, with an average grant of $20,000 or $40,000 for one year. Priority is given to investigators early in their careers who need seed funds to generate data supporting future larger (e.g. NIH) grants. The Foundation also occasionally awards grants specifically for the study of Meniere's disease. FIA: Fact — AHRF is a 501(c)(3) that funds 5–10 hearing/balance research projects per year (award amounts and cadence stated consistently across multiple AHRF award announcements). Assumption — the current grant-detail/RFP page ('Grants We Offer & Application') was not in the scraped set (only historical award-announcement posts), so the current cycle's exact deadline was not captured; historically submissions are due ~August. No current deadline fabricated. DISCOVERY NOTE: re-scrape american-hearing.org/research-grants for current-cycle detail.
