The American Academy of Audiology aims to advance the science, practice, and accessibility of hearing and balance healthcare. It serves as the collective voice of the audiology profession, advocating for audiologists and future audiologists by promoting professional development, education, research, and public awareness of hearing and balance disorders.
The grant program by the American Academy of Audiology and its Foundation focuses on promoting research in audiology, particularly in hearing and balance. It aims to support basic and applied research that can benefit individuals with hearing loss and/or balance deficits, ultimately enhancing the ability of professionals to evaluate and manage these disorders. The initiative offers grants up to $5,000 for research projects lasting one year, with funding decisions based on the merit of the project and application.
