UNDER-RESEARCHED AREAS OF FOCUS
Over the years, several areas of science have been under-researched and under-represented through traditional funding mechanisms.  To encourage additional research in these areas, we have defined four Under-Researched Areas of Focus in an effort to continually move the field forward. Learn more about the areas and how to apply for a project in one of these areas.
POLICY ON EMERGING RESEARCH GRANTS
Please review the Policy in detail if you are a researcher interested in applying to the Emerging Research Grants program.  Hearing Health Foundation awards grants once a year for the project period of July 1- June 30. Read our Policy and for any Policy questions please contact grants@hearinghealthfoundation.org.
 
 
GRANT APPLICATION
The application period for the 2013 Emerging Research Grant funding cycle is now closed.  Check back for more information on the 2014 cycle which will open in August 2013.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MEET THE RESEARCHERS
Second year Emerging Researcher, Sung-Ho Huh, Washington University has a long term goal of understanding how Fgf signaling regulates the development, maintenance and repair of sensory hair cells and supporting cells in the cochlea. Due to lack of regenerative ability in humans after loss or dammage of hair cells, it is critical to identify signals that can reactivate developmental pathways and thus permit repair and regeneration of the damaged cochlea. Studying the mechanisms that regulate cochlear development will provide valuable clues about molecules that can be tested for regenerative activity and will thus benefit future translational studies aimed at  inducing hair cell regeneration in adult humans. Meet the rest of the 2012 researchers.
