Once again, it is with great pride that I review the Corporate Affiliates Research Grant program of the American Rhinologic Society. The work of this committee parallels the growth and spirit of our organization since the mid 90's.
This program has allowed our young, bright minds to have unfettered funds for direct basic science research in all aspects of Rhinology. None of this would be possible without the synergies we have with our wonderful instrument and pharmaceutical corporate thought-leaders. We have fostered wonderful relationships between industry and our society for the greater good of our rhinology patients as indicated with this year's 2008 corporate affiliates, who are as follows:
| Acclarent | Platinum |
| Gyrus ACMI | Platinum |
| Alcon Laboratories, Inc. | Gold |
| Entellus Medical Inc. | Gold |
| Meda Pharmaceuticals | Gold |
| Medtronic ENT | Gold |
| Karl Storz Endoscopy-America Inc. | Silver |
| NeuroLogica Corporation | Silver |
| Stryker Instruments | Silver |
| BrainLAB Inc. | Bronze |
| Entrigue Surgical | Bronze |
| GE Healthcare | Bronze |
| Sinexus Inc. | Bronze |
| Xoran Technologies Inc. | Bronze |
Through the years since 1996, our committee has raised over $500,000 towards our research grants. It has been an honor for me to serve the society as Chairman of this committee, and I'm always helped by all the ARS members who suggest contacts to foster these lofty goals.
