British Association of Head & Neck Oncologists

BAHNO Travelling Scholarship
BAHNO offers a Travelling Scholarship to help fund a visit for training experience, for members of BAHNO in a UK specialist training programme, to an institution in the UK or abroad.

An application can be submitted at any time before the 31st December each year. This will be acknowledged and is considered by Council at their Feb/March meeting. The result is announced at the AGM in April. A condition of the award is that the Travelling Scholar should produce a short written report of their visit for Council, and a brief verbal report at the AGM if requested.

BAHNO Research Bursary
The Association will make available research bursaries that will typically be between £1000-£2000, although in exceptional circumstances an award of up to £4000 may be made on the recommendation of the research committee.

In order to qualify, Applicants must work within or in association with a Head & Neck Cancer Centre or Unit within the UK. The research must be of relevance to head & neck oncology. The primary aim is to support small self-contained projects, where major funding awards are unlikely to be considered.

All applicants must be members of BAHNO (Full, Associate, Overseas or Affiliate) at the time of application. Applications will be accepted only during November and December each year and the closing date for receipt of applications will be 31st December.

Award holders will be required to provide a written update of their work on an annual basis, and a detailed report on completion. They may be required to present their work, either, as a poster or oral presentation at the annual scientific meeting in the year following completion. A summary outlining how the money has been spent must be sent to the secretariat.

Further information and an application form can be found on the website.
