$25,000, one year. One available.
Purpose
The purpose of this award is to support basic, translational, clinical, health services, or outcomes research projects in rhinology.
Conditions
Proposed projects may be related to any area of rhinology.
The proposed project shall be approved by the candidate's department chairperson and institution. Applications must be accompanied by a letter of support from the applicant’s Department Chair verifying that the applicant will be permitted to devote an appropriate amount of time to the conduct and timely completion of the proposed research project. Applicants must obtain letters of support/understanding from all key personnel on the project.
The results of research funded by the ARS must be submitted in abstract form for consideration for presentation at a national meeting of the American Rhinologic Society. The recipient(s) shall be free to publish the results afterward, but the American Rhinologic Society shall have the right of first refusal for publication in its journal, The International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology. Any presentation or publication of results supported by this award shall acknowledge the contribution of the American Rhinologic Society Women in Rhinology Research Grant Sponsored by Medtronic.
Use of Funds
Award funds may be used for any legitimate costs associated with the purpose of the award. A detailed budget and budget justification constitute part of the application and will be evaluated as an important factor in the review process. If university policy stipulates that a portion of this very modest award must go toward institutional indirect costs, no more than ten percent (10%) of the direct costs may be applied for indirect costs. Indirect costs refer to expenses associated with facilities and administration costs. Examples of indirect costs include, but are not limited to utility expenses, communication costs, accounting and legal expenses, and shared monies across institutions.
Allowable expenses include consultant fees (e.g., statistician, methodologist); salary support for research assistants or other supporting personnel; computer software or hardware; computer database access fees, laboratory supplies, and expenses related to presentation or publication of results. Equipment and supplies purchased with this award become the property of the recipient institution.

Eligibility

Any member of the American Rhinologic Society who has completed residency is eligible. In order to be considered, the applicant must be the Principal Investigator (PI) assigned to the application, and the proposed research must include at least one female investigator as either the Principal Investigator or a co-investigator. ARS grants are legally awarded to the institution with which the Principal Investigator is affiliated, not to the investigator or his/her division or department.
