Centralized Otolaryngology Research Efforts (CORE) Grant


The Academy and its Foundation are committed to the future well-being of our members and their patients. In an effort to strengthen research support in all areas of otolaryngology, the AAO-HNSF has joined forces with several senior societies, foundations and sponsors to broaden research opportunities, and to streamline and enhance the research application and review process. The Centralized Otolaryngology Research Efforts (CORE) serves as a central clearinghouse and facilitator for otolaryngology-head and neck surgery research programs.

Since 1985, CORE has played a vital role by awarding almost 400 grants totaling over $7 million for research projects, research training, and career development to further the specialty of otolaryngology. These grants, ranging in award size from $5,000 to $70,000, have been essential for increasing the research base for otolaryngology.

The CORE program brings greater scale and less fragmentation and overlap to otolaryngology - head and neck surgery research opportunities, reduces the aggregate costs of the individual grant programs, and enables a comprehensive overview of the spectrum of promising otolaryngology and head and neck surgery research/researchers to promote to NIH and other agencies.  Nearly one third of otolaryngologists funded through CORE have been awarded NIH grants.

Residents

The AAO-HNSF and the Centralized Otolaryngology Research Efforts (CORE) Study Section would like to invite six residents to serve on the 2011 CORE Study Section to participate in the review of the 2011 CORE grant applications. This is an invaluable opportunity for residents to learn how to review grants, and in the process, become better grant writers. Application
