The spirit of cooperation between our Society, and the sponsors who have
donated these unrestricted educational funds, continues to be remarkable.
We also thank our Corporate Affiliate friends who have graciously sponsored
the American Rhinologic Society newsletters: Bayer who sponsored our Spring
Newsletter, and AstraZeneca LP for sponsoring the Summer Newsletter. Mention
also should be made that Glaxo Wellcome sponsored the Fall 1999 newsletter.
The American Rhinologic Society Corporate Affiliate funds sponsor research
grants for basic or clinical research in rhinology. These grants are open to
any otolaryngologist, or resident in training in an approved otolaryngology
residency program in the United States and Canada, who is an ARS member. These
are one year, non-renewable grants at a maximum of $25,000. Three grants, of
various amounts, are available for the applicable year, and the deadlines are
as follows:
|
|
January 3 |
- Research Grant Application
|
March 1 |
- Announcement of Recipients
|
May 12 |
|
|
July 1 |
It should be noted that beginning the funding year 2001, the ARS will be
participating in the Centralized Otolaryngology Research Efforts or C.O.R.E.,
which has been developed by the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head &
Neck Surgery and the affiliated senior societies to centralize the application
process for research grants funded within the otolaryngology societies. By
participating in C.O.R.E., the ARS will standardize our granting cycle to
correspond with the AAO-HNS. The American Rhinologic Society will still offer
specific grants to fund and develop research within rhinology; therefore a
copy of all research grant applications should be forwarded to Thomas V.
McCaffrey, M.D., Research Committee Chairman, in addition to the C.O.R.E.
group.
We will honor our 2000 Corporate Affiliate members with a certificate of
affiliation, presented to them at the Washington, D.C. "Nose 2000" fall
meetings.
