About Us

About the AHNSF

The AHNSF is dedicated to advancing the mission of the AHNS by funding cutting-edge research and career development opportunities. Join us in supporting the future of head and neck surgery and make a donation today.

Why Your Support Matters

  • Bridging the Funding Gap – Young investigators face fierce competition for limited research funds. Modest grants from the Foundation can be the stepping stones to securing larger NIH or industry grants that lead to groundbreaking discoveries.
  • Inspiring Future Leaders – We need to attract and support the next generation of head and neck surgeons by providing resources and mentorship for trainees who are considering careers in this vital field.
  • Educating Providers, Improving Outcomes – Expanding our resources, opportunities, and educational programs will ensure that both healthcare professionals have access to the latest information on treatments, technology, and more leading to improved patient outcomes.
