Candidates for this award must: 1) have completed an ACGME-approved residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery  and 2) hold a full-time teaching appointment in a US medical school within a department or division of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery 3) be citizens of the United States, or have been lawfully admitted for permanent United States residency at the time of application; 4) hold a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or equivalent degree from an accredited institution awarded within the last 10 years; and 5) have demonstrated the capacity or potential for a highly productive, independent research career with an emphasis in otology/neurotology.  Preference will be given to candidates who have recently (within the preceding three years) completed, or are currently enrolled in a two-year otology/neurotology fellowship.

The AOS Clinician-Scientist and his or her mentor(s) are encouraged to use preliminary research results from this award as pilot material for the development of a research grant application to a suitable funding agency. Specifically, this grant mechanism is designed to permit the budding clinician-scientist adequate time and mentoring to accrue preliminary data to successfully apply for a K08/K23 grant from the NIH. Therefore, individuals who have already competed successfully for a career development award from a private or Federal funding agency are ineligible for this award program. The grantee may not receive concurrent research salary support from other agencies or sources during the period of this grant. Accordingly, funding from the AOS will be terminated once the Clinician-Scientist secures Federal funding for a Career Development Award.
