Journal of Laryngology and Otology Travelling and Research Scholarships

The JLO grants are not specific to laryngology per se, but can be used to fund both research and trips to other departments.

The Journal offers two Scholarships each year; one for travel and one for research. These will normally be advertised in November and December of each year. Each applicant must have held the final qualifying examination in his/her country for two years and must be in the later stages of training. Applicants are expected to have been subscribers to the JLO for a minimum of one year.

For Travelling Fellowships, candidates are asked to submit a current CV and write up to 1,000 words describing why they wish to travel and which aspects of otolaryngology they wish to study. The itinerary for travel should be agreed and the appropriate leave of absence from their training programme should either have been granted or approved in principle. The application must be accompanied by documentation from the host department confirming acceptance and the duration and nature of the training to be offered. A report of the Fellowship will be published in the Journal.

To apply for Research Scholarships, available for pump priming of research in Otolaryngology and its allied sciences, prospective candidates will be required to provide a CV with a letter of support from their supervisor, and the outline of the project to be undertaken together with evidence of local Ethical Committee approval where appropriate and details of any other sources of financial assistance that have been agreed.

It is a condition of award that papers eminating from the research will normally be offered to the Journal of Laryngology and Otology for publication. At the termination of the agreed period of study successful applicants will also be asked to provide a summary of the outcome of their project for the trustees.

Further information on the JLO Fellowships and Scholarships, and an application form can be found on the website.

British Association of Head & Neck Oncologists
BAHNO offers a Travelling Scholarship to help fund a visit for training experience, for members of BAHNO in a UK specialist training programme, to an institution in the UK or abroad.

An application can be submitted at any time before the 31st December each year. This will be acknowledged and is considered by Council at their Feb/March meeting. The result is announced at the AGM in April. A condition of the award is that the Travelling Scholar should produce a short written report of their visit for Council, and a brief verbal report at the AGM if requested.

The Association will make available research bursaries that will typically be between £1000-£2000, although in exceptional circumstances an award of up to £4000 may be made on the recommendation of the research committee. In order to qualify, Applicants must work within or in association with a Head & Neck Cancer Centre or Unit within the UK. The research must be of relevance to head & neck oncology. The primary aim is to support small self-contained projects, where major funding awards are unlikely to be considered.

All applicants must be members of BAHNO (Full, Associate, Overseas or Affiliate) at the time of application. Applications will be accepted only during November and December each year and the closing date for receipt of applications will be 31st December each year.

Award holders will be required to provide a written update of their work on an annual basis, and a detailed report on completion. They may be required to present their work, either, as a poster or oral presentation at the annual scientific meeting in the year following completion. A summary outlining how the money has been spent must be sent to the secretariat.

Further information and an application form can be found on the BAHNO website.
