Mini-Travel Fellowship Program
The NIDCD National Temporal
Bone Registry is pleased to announce the availability of a mini-travel
fellowship. The fellowship provides travel funds for research technicians
and young investigators to visit a temporal bone laboratory for a brief
educational visit, lasting approximately one week. The emphasis is on
the training of research assistants, technicians and junior faculty.
The fellowship is available to:

new temporal bone laboratory.
2. Inactive U.S. temporal bone laboratories
that wish to reactivate their collections.
3. Active U.S. temporal bone laboratories
that wish to learn new research techniques.
Two fellowship awards will be made each
year ($1,000 per fellowship). The funds may be used to defray travel and
lodging expenses. Applications will be decided on merit. Those awarded the
fellowship will be required to submit a brief report, which may be
published in the Registry’s newsletter.
Interested applicants should submit the
following:
1. A 1-2 page outline of the education
or training
