September 2024Triological Society Grants to Support Research Career Development
The Triological Society is committed to supporting the research efforts of otolaryngologists earlier in their careers through grant funding. Two key opportunities:
The Research Career Development Award provides $40,000 for one to two years to junior otolaryngology faculty who have not yet obtained NIH funding. It supports the generation of preliminary data to aid in the development of a research program and enhance a physician–researcher’s competitiveness for NIH grants.
The Triological Society/American College of Surgeons Clinical Scientist Development Award provides $80,000 per year for the remaining duration of an existing NIH K award to boost research productivity and competitiveness for an R01 grant. The funds are fairly unrestricted and can be applied to protecting research time, carrying out experiments, or both.
Bradley Goldstein, MD, PhD, professor of head and neck surgery and communication sciences at Duke University in Durham, N.C., who serves as the research coordinator for the Triological Society, said these grant mechanisms have a track record of success, with many prior recipients obtaining subsequent NIH funding.
