Description

Through the Emerging Research Grants program, Hearing Health Foundation provides seed money to researchers working on the entire spectrum of hearing research and balance research, including many underfunded areas of otology. HHF solicits applications for ERG awards under multiple opportunity types. HHF especially welcomes applications from early career researchers, but has funding streams open to researchers at all career stages.

Funding areas include but are not limited to:

• Age-Related Hearing Loss
• Central Auditory Processing Disorders
• General Hearing Health (all hearing and balance)
• Hearing Loss in Children
• Hyperacusis
• Ménière's Disease
• Tinnitus
• Usher Syndrome

Applications open:

Oct. 28, 2024

Application deadline:

March 3, 2025

Funding:

Up to $50,000 per year, one (1) initial year in length, renewable for a second year.

Description:

The American Otological Society (AOS) is committed to the non-promotional advancement of knowledge and science and to a free exchange of medical education in otology and neurotology. Through its Research Foundation, all AOSRF grant awards may involve research on any topic related to ear disorders. The research need not be directly on an otological disease but may explore normal functions of the cochlea, labyrinth or central auditory or vestibular systems. Research supported by all grant mechanisms can relate to any aspects of the ear, hearing, and balance disorders.
The applicant must describe how the proposed research will benefit the understanding, diagnosis, or treatment of otological disorders. AOS welcomes applications that address quality and safety of care as well as to improve education and training in otology.

The AOSRF offers four types of grants:

1. Research Grant Award: Faculty, either MD and/or PhD. Those without major funding (NIH, DoD, NSF) are encouraged to apply. $55,000 for one year.
2. Training Fellowship: Clinical fellows, residents, post-doctoral fellows (both MD and PhD), and graduate students. $44,000 per year.
3. Clinical Investigation: Anyone. $66,000 for one year.
4. Clinician Scientist Award: Full-time teaching appointment (MD), typically at a junior level who are aiming to develop a career as a clinician-scientist. Up to $240,000 over three years.

Funding cycle:

July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026

U.S. Military Academy Broad Agency Announcement - W911NF-20-S-0008

This BAA was released April 1, 2020, and is open until March 31, 2025. It seeks proposals for cutting-edge innovative research that could produce discoveries with significant impact to enable new and improved Army technologies and related operational capabilities in the areas of:

• Socio-cultural
• Information technology
• Ballistics, weapons and protections
• Energy and sustainability
• Materials, measurements, and facilities
• Unmanned systems and space
• Human support systems; and
• Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum technologies.

The human support systems focus includes biomechanical engineering to enhance soldier readiness (human performance optimization, injury prediction/prevention, physical and cognitive augmentation, Return-to-Duty metrics, functional influence of prosthetics/exoskeletal devices) and wearable technologies and sensors to inform performance decisions (e.g., monitoring/assessment, injury prevention, recovery times)
