AHNS 2013 annual meeting During the Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings April 10 - 11, 2013 JW Marriott Grande Lakes Orlando, Florida FINAL PROGRAM The Research and Education Foundation of The American Head & Neck Society What is the Research and Education Foundation of the American Head and Neck Society? The American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) is the single largest organization in North America for the advancement of research and education in head and neck oncology. Founded in 1998 as a merger between two smaller societies, the AHNS offers a community for professionals working with head and neck cancer. The Research and Education Foundation of the American Head and Neck Society was developed as a means to promote the ideals and mission of the society. What does the Research and Education Foundation do? The Foundation wants to support head and neck cancer research especially for young investigators who will make the discoveries needed to improve survival, decrease treatment morbidity and preserve speech and swallowing function. Young investigators often have difficulty competing for limited funds.The Foundation wants to provide opportunities for basic, translational and clinical research grants in head and neck cancer and education. How can I be involved? In order to provide these grants, the Foundation relies solely on the generosity of AHNS members, physicians and other individuals, and grateful patients. Your support is invaluable. There are many ways to give: Pledge commitments, Centurion Club, and more. We strongly encourage giving at the Centurion Club level, where you receive special recognition and privileges; however, all level of gifts are appreciated and welcome. What grants does the Foundation support? While our goal is to fund 100% of the grants offered through the AHNS, we currently have two unique award opportunities: The Chris O’Brien Traveling Scholar Award and the Duane Sewell Young Investigator Award. These are both offered in memory of talented and passionate physicians who were also members of the AHNS. To learn more about these awards, please visit our website, where you may also chose to make donations to these funds. To make a donation, please visit www.ahnsfoundation.info OR go to the AHNS Registration Desk and ask for a donation form.
