TWO GRANTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR 2010 FROM
NOHR
Grant #1: Annual NOHR Research Awards
($20,000 for one year)
In January 2010, The National Organization for
Hearing Research Foundation will award grants of
approximately $20,000 each, primarily in the form
of Seed Money, for exploration into innovative
biomedical research areas in the preventions,
causes, treatments and cures of hearing loss and
deafness. NOHR encourages proposals related to
biological restoration of hearing.
Clinicians and researchers qualified in the
field of auditory science may apply. Applications
from researchers in other disciplines who will
conduct research directly relevant to auditory
science are also encouraged. Grant support is
provided for one year. Applications are reviewed by
the NOHR Foundation's Scientific Review Committee.
The deadline for submission of applications is
October 9, 2009.
Grant #2: Two-Year NOHR Stria Vascularis
Project ($25,000/year for two years)
The National Organization for Hearing Research
requests proposals for a two-year project concerned
with hearing loss whose underlying basis is a
disruption of lateral wall homeostasis. The
proposed studies should involve strial or spiral
ligament pathologies that have a genetic, vascular
or metabolic origin. Research with potential
translational significance is encouraged.
Applications will be reviewed by a special ad hoc
Scientific Review Committee.
The award will be funded at the level of
$25,000/year for a period of two years, beginning
in January 2010. At the conclusion of the first
year, there will be an interim review by the
Scientific Review Committee to evaluate the
recipient's progress. Funding for year two will be
contingent on satisfactory reviews.
The deadline for submission of applications is
October 9, 2009.
Please contact NOHR for an application package
for either of these grants.
Please ask specifically for either-
Grant #1: One-Year NOHR "Research Awards"
Grant #2: Two-Year NOHR "Stria Vascularis
Project"
The application materials are different.
