The American Academy of Audiology has opened the application platform for the Research Grants in Hearing and Balance program. Funded by the American Academy of Audiology Foundation, the grant program supports research by new investigators and students. A grant of up to $10,000 is awarded to a new investigator, and two awards of $5,000 support student investigator projects.
The student investigator grants can be focused on either general auditory science or vestibular science, this latter grant is supported in part by the American Institute of Balance. Proposals are due by January 24, 2022, and award notifications will be made by late April.
