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. No current deadline fabricated.
How to Apply
Research grant submissions are accepted through spring/summer (historically due ~August), reviewed by the Research Committee in early fall, with funding approved for the following year. Submit via the AHRF online portal at american-hearing.org.
