Abstract

The present report, in the form of a research proposal, is based on the hypothesis that research in otolaryngology is essential for continued improvement in health care. Examples of advances in otolaryngology as a result of research are noted, but for continued success, otolaryngology must maintain and find better ways to train clinically directed researchers. Traditional methods of training such as hands-on experience, courses in the basic principles of research, protected time, and mentoring are discussed and evaluated. Barriers to success such as age, time, and debt are noted. Potential solutions are presented with an emphasis on integration of the research and clinical training. Success of faculty will continue to depend on laboratory and financial support, technical assistance, protected time, salary equivalent to other faculty, and accessibility of research funds. For research to gain support and enthusiasm and to keep it strong and productive, cost-effectiveness and value must be recognized.
