The Student Research Award (SRA) provides $1,000 to support graduate-student research in hearing conservation/hearing loss prevention, and up to $1,000 for travel expenses plus complimentary registration to present the funded research at a future annual NHCA conference. The award is intended to support research studies such as dissertations, theses, or other special projects that are in the planning stages or currently underway. Completed projects are not eligible.
NHCA will select up to two graduate students to receive the SRA. Awardees will be notified by email early in the spring semester. Students must be currently enrolled at an accredited educational institution and studying in a field related to hearing loss prevention/hearing conservation. Recipients will receive an award of $1,000 for research-related expenses and will be eligible for up to $1,000 in additional funds for travel expenses plus complimentary registration to present the funded research at an annual NHCA conference.
Students must submit a complete application by the official SRA due date, March 15, 2025. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
