Deafness Research Foundation Research Grants

For over 50 years, on an annual basis, DRF has allocated funds to scientists throughout the United States in the field of hearing and balance science research.

DRF, the leading national source of private funding for basic and clinical research in hearing and balance science, awards research grant awards of up to $25,000 to researchers once a year to conduct novel investigations of auditory and vestibular function and dysfunction. All research proposals, both basic, translational and applied clinical in hearing and balance will be considered for funding. DRF wishes to stimulate research that leads to a continuing and independently fundable line of research.

DRF is no longer accepting applications for the 2010 grant cycle. Applications for the 2011 DRF grant cycle are due on December 8. To be notified of upcoming grants, send an email to grants@drf.org.
