Foundation

IVS grants are awarded on an annual basis to a meritorious international otolaryngologist such as Syed Salman Hashmi, MBBS, and enable recipients to:

  • Participate in the AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
  • Receive $2,000 to help defray travel costs associated with attending the Annual Meeting
  • Partake in a short-term observership at a U.S. otolaryngology institution
  • Receive a one-year trial membership

The reach of the IVS Grant Program is dependent upon generous donations to the AAO-HNS foundation. Consider making a donation today of $2,000 in support of an IVS grant by contacting Marylou Forgione, Senior Manager/Development, at mforgione@entnet.org.
