Thomas V. McCaffrey, M.D., Ph.D.
Tampa, FL
The American Rhinologic Society is pleased to announce the awarding of two research grants for 2001.
This is the first year that the $25,000 New Investigator Research Grant has been awarded. The recipient is David B. Conley, M.D., Northwestern University, for his project entitled "Apoptosis in the Aging Olfactory Mucosa."
Dr. Larry K. Burton, PGY-3, Mayo Clinic Rochester, received a Resident Research Grant in the amount of $8,000 for his project, "The Immune Response to Fungi in Chronic Sinusitis and Allergic Rhinitis."
Congratulations to Dr. Conley and Dr. Burton.
The American Rhinologic Society in collaboration with the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation's C.O.R.E. (Centralized Otolaryngology Research Efforts) will again sponsor two categories of grant awards for the 2002 grant cycle - new investigator and resident research.
The New Investigator $25,000 award is open to a promising investigator who is not a current recipient of a major research grant. This award is active for up to two years and requires the mentorship of an established investigator. Two resident research awards, each in the amount of $8,000, are available. These awards are for a period of one year. Residents applying for this award must be an ARS member or candidate and must have an ARS member as co-investigator.
ARS members of CORE's Study Section review all applications. Review criteria include project significance, scientific approach/methodology, and feasibility. Each applicant will receive a summary statement detailing the reviewers' comments. Recipients of ARS research grants are required to submit a final project status and financial report, and present the project at a national meeting of the ARS. Eventual publication of results is expected, with the ARS having the right of first refusal through its official journal The American Journal of Rhinology.
Applications and directions for submission are available at the AAO-HNSF's web site, www.ent.org, under Research. Questions should be directed to Ms. Fareen Pourhamidi (703) 684-4293.
Important Submission dates for 2002:
Letter of Intent 12/14/01
Application 01/15/02
ARS funding of research projects is subject to receipt of applications through CORE that are judged sufficiently meritorious.
