ENT Link: This is the AAO-HNS/Foundation website, now greatly expanded and growing more so. It includes details of the Foundation and CORE grant programs with useful links.

National Institutes of Health: The NIH website is one of the most useful, containing information on all the institutes, centers and divisions, funding opportunities, award data, downloadable application forms and guidelines, as well as superb patient information. Go through this site also to get to Medline Plus, with its expanded search capacity, dictionaries, and databases. A new feature is a directory of every clinical trial receiving current NIH support. The National Cancer Institute offers Resources for Scientists, a veritable rolodex of information and advice about the world of research and funding.

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality: Formerly known as AHCPR, the Agency for Health Research and Quality maintains a website with funding opportunities, information on currently funded projects, and timely reports. Also available: a link with HCUPnet, from which you can determine national or statewide trends and statistics, including mortality and morbidity, cost, and racial/ethnic distribution for diseases or procedures.

Link to National Center for Health Statistics where you can view Hospital Discharge Survey and Ambulatory Care Services databases.

GrantsNet: One of the most consistently useful sites you will find, containing listings on thousands of biomedical research grants, complete interactive tutorials on writing a good grant application, and contacts. Go to the Grants Doctor page and browse the material.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI): The Howard Hughes Medical Institute is one of the major players in supporting biomedical research. This site contains information about its grant programs. HHMI is a co-sponsor of the GrantsNet site.
