Why Your Support Matters

  • Bridging the Funding Gap – Young investigators face fierce competition for limited research funds. Small grants from the Foundation can be the stepping stones to securing larger NIH-funded research that leads to groundbreaking discoveries.
  • Inspiring Future Leaders – We need to attract and support the next generation of head and neck surgeons by providing resources and mentorship for residents and medical students who are considering careers in this vital field.
  • Empowering Patients & Providers – The more we educate, the better the care. Expanding our digital resources and educational programs will ensure that both healthcare professionals and patients have access to the latest information on treatment and recovery.
