The TWJ Foundation

The TWJ Foundation was founded in 1974 as a charitable trust with the specific aim of helping patients with deafness overcome their disability. The Foundation offers research and educational grants to otolaryngologists and other related audiological professionals working in the British National Health Service in order to achieve this goal. The following awards are made each year:

Major Overseas Grants
Available to ENT Specialist Registrars on a numbered otolaryngological training programme in the British Isles. These TWJ Fellowships are available for six months to one year at an overseas ENT university department to specifically supplement the otological training of the applicant. The current TWJ Fellowships are advertised in the July and September editions of ENT News and on this website as well.  Each specialist registrar also receives a broad sheet advertising the Fellowships, courtesy of ENT UK.

Conference & Educational Grants
These grants are offered to Otolaryngologists, ENT Specialist Registrars, Audiologists and Hearing Therapists who wish to attend otological courses and meetings.

Thesis Grants
