The Eye and Ear supports research through various funding schemes including grants and fellowships.  

Early Research Career Support Grants

The purpose of the Eye & Ear Early Research Career Support Grants program is to support the recruitment and retention of clinical researchers early in their research careers, including those transitioning from training positions to early consultant or more junior to more senior clinician positions.

Research Project Grants

The purpose of the Research Project Grant program is to support research projects across any of the clinical domains and research interests of the hospital which are expected to produce data to enable subsequent submissions to other bodies for larger grants, as well as projects which have clearly defined aims that can be achieved in one year of funding.
