CONDITIONS AND INFORMATION

The Difficult Airway Society (DAS) is pleased to announce project grants up to a maximum sum of £10,000 to support research in the broad area of airway management. DAS intends to interpret this aim widely as any relevant research which aids in the understanding of airway management as it relates to anaesthetic practice. Therefore, the research may include collection or analysis of data; anatomical (including radiological, imaging or cadaveric/histological study); clinical study of patients using airway-related apparatus; volunteer studies; manikin or bench studies of apparatus; clinical, volunteer or animal laboratory studies of respiratory control; support for national investigations of airway-related problems. Research that examines offset or recovery of respiratory or upper airway characteristics from anaesthesia (eg, tracheal extubation) as well as their response to induction of anaesthesia (eg, tracheal intubation) are also welcome.

Applicants who have obtained part-funding for their project from another source may apply for this grant but must declare the details of the other source of funding. Similarly, applicants may apply who wish to use this grant to support an application to another source: however, award of this DAS-NIAA grant will be strictly conditional upon their subsequently obtaining the other grant support within one year of the DAS award being offered. If applicants are applying concurrently for part-support of their project from another source, then they must include a copy of that application.

1. Applicants do not need to be members of the Difficult Airway Society

2. DAS will wish to share any intellectual property rights and income arising from this work with their host institution.

3. Any equipment purchased by an awarded grant should be considered to be the property of DAS and will revert to DAS after the end-date of the project

4. Successful applicants will be expected to present their work to DAS Annual Meeting
