The purpose of this award is to support basic, translational, or clinical research projects in rhinology.

CONDITIONS

Proposed projects may be related to any area of rhinology.

Any presentation or publication of results supported by this award shall acknowledge the contribution of the ARS research grant. The results of research funded by the ARS must be submitted in abstract form for consideration for presentation at a national meeting of the American Rhinologic Society. Applications must be accompanied by a letter of support from the applicant’s Department Chair and Preceptor verifying that the applicant will be permitted to devote an appropriate amount of time to the conduct and timely completion of the proposed research project. Applicants must obtain letters of support/understanding from all key personnel on the project. The Academy will withhold up to ten per cent (10%) of the grant until such time that the research project is completed and all requirements have been meet, as outlined in section K; Reporting Requirements.

TERMS

FORMAT

Applications are in a similar format to the National Institutes of Health. All applications must be completed and submitted online through ProposalCentral™ at https://proposalcentral.altum.com. Visit http://www.entnet.org/CORE for more information on the application process.

SIGNATURES

ARS grants are legally awarded to the institution with which the Principal Investigator is affiliated, not to the investigator or his/her division or department. For this reason, it is very important that applicants comply with their home institution’s policies with regard to pre-submission processing of grant applications. This can take time, so it is wise to plan ahead, allowing adequate time for processing and approvals. For example, the original copy of an application to the ARS must be signed by the person legally authorized to represent the institution in any contractual relationship that might result. This is typically someone in the administration whom the applicant does not know personally. Applicants are advised to consult their institution’s offices of research administration or sponsored projects for information on processing requirements for an application prior to its submission.

APPROVALS

If the proposed research involves human subjects or vertebrate animals at any time, the project must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate institutional review board (IRB) or animal use and care committee (IACUC). This approval should be obtained prior to submission and submitted with the application. If such approval is unavoidably delayed, enter “pending” instead of the date and send a follow-up certification of approval signed by an official of the application institution within 30 days after the January 15, 2025 application receipt date. Grant applications which are not supported by evidence of the appropriate IRB or IACUC approvals will not be reviewed or considered further in that grant cycle. Any changes in the proposed work required by an IRB or IACUC to secure approval must be submitted to the Foundation with the followup certification, prior to review or after the work is in progress.

LETTER OF INTENT

All applicants must submit a Letter of Intent online no later than midnight Eastern Standard Time December 16, 2024. The letter of intent includes the title of the project, the principal investigator, and an abstract of the work. This will facilitate planning review requirements. See the ProposalCentral™ website (https://proposalcentral.altum.com) to begin the letter of intent process.

RECEIPT DATE

Allow yourself enough time to have the appropriate individuals review your application. Once your application is complete, print your cover page and have all of the necessary individuals sign. Keep in mind that it may take a few days to obtain all of the necessary signatures. The CORE grants program is paperless, so no hard copies of the signature page are to be mailed. Once all signatures have been obtained, you should scan the document and upload the .pdf to the system and retain the original for your files if needed. Once the signature page has been uploaded, run the checks within the system and click ‘SUBMIT.’ You will receive a confirmation email indicating that your proposal has officially been submitted.

FOLLOW-UP

In carrying out its stewardship of research programs, the ARS or AAO-HNSF may request information essential to an assessment of the effectiveness of this program. Accordingly, the recipient is hereby notified that s/he may be contacted after the completion of the award for periodic updates on various aspects of employment history, publications, support from research grants or contracts, honors and awards, professional activities, and other information helpful in evaluating the impact of the program.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Recipients of the ARS Resident Research Grant are required to complete an interim report at 6- months. Within 30-days of the completion of the project, the awardee will submit a final report suitable for publication. The results of this work must be submitted for presentation at an ARS national meeting no later than 12 months after completion of the project. The ARS shall have the right of first refusal as regards to publishing the results of investigations supported by this award. A final financial report must be submitted within 90 days of the close of the project. Any publications resulting from a project supported with the award shall acknowledge the contribution of the ARS Resident Research Grant.
