The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), has announced a funding opportunity titled "NIDCD's Mentored Research Education Pathway for Otolaryngology Residents and Medical Students" (R25). This initiative aims to enhance research education activities for medical students and resident-investigators in otolaryngology, fostering their transition into research careers and addressing the workforce shortage of clinician-investigators in the field. The program supports the development of innovative educational programs that include structured research experiences and mentoring relationships, with a focus on promoting diversity and inclusion among underrepresented groups. Interested applicants can apply for funding up to $499,999 for a maximum duration of 24 months for resident-investigators and 9 months for medical students, with proposals due by September 29, 2026.
