What is the role of the ATA Scientific Advisory Committee?
The ATA Scientific Advisory Committee is a group of volunteer researchers and clinicians who review grant applications for tinnitus research funding. After their review, SAC members make recommendations to the ATA Board of Directors on which studies should be funded. Many SAC members are researchers, and several have applied for and received ATA grants, but they must excuse themselves from deliberations on their own submitted grants or on grants from their affiliated hospitals or universities because of conflict of interest.
