The Hearing Health Foundation has announced a 2023–2024 call for applications for Emerging Research Grant.
Donor Name: Hearing Health Foundation (HHF)
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 02/28/2023
Size of the Grant: $50,000
Grant Duration: 1 Year
Details:
Hearing Health Foundation (“HHF”) awards grants once a year for the project period of October 1 – September 30. A grant represents a mutual joining of interests on the part of HHF, the Grantee, and the Grantee Institution in the pursuit of a common objective: furthering hearing and balance science.
HHF Emerging Research Grants are intended primarily for promising researchers who are in the early stages of their careers and focusing on hearing loss, hearing restoration and hearing and balance related conditions. Senior investigators are also eligible for grants in specific hearing and balance topics.
The primary purpose of this Award is to enable the Principal Investigator (“PI”) to become established and/or produce quality research that will allow the PI to successfully compete for NIH grants or grants from other sources.
Priority is given to new investigators in the field of hearing and balance and to projects that are likely to open new lines of inquiry. New and innovative projects developed by established scientists will also be considered.
Funding Information
If a Grantee Institution requires an allocation for indirect costs, this amount may not exceed the lesser of (i) $5,000 and (ii) 10% of the total Award. Regardless of the amount allocated to indirect costs, the HHF Award for any one year will not exceed $50,000.
Eligibility Criteria
For all applicants:
- Applicants should demonstrate experience and strong research training as well as sufficient institutional support (facilities and time as well as mentorship, if applicable) to carry out the proposed work.
- Applicants must hold an M.D., Ph.D., Au.D. Or equivalent degree.
- The applicant must hold an appointment at a non-profit educational, governmental or research institution within the United States.
