G-I-N Scholars

About the G-I-N Scholars Program

The Guidelines International Network (G-I-N) is an international not-for-profit association of organizations and individuals involved in Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs). G-I-N promotes the systematic development of CPGs and provides access to an international guideline library. The G-I-N Scholars program provides grants for members to attend the G-I-N conference. Requirements for grant recipients include commitments to collaborate with the AAO-HNSF as a panel member or assistant chair of an upcoming guideline panel and to submit a commentary pertaining to CPGs to Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.

The 2022 G-I-N Conference will take place in Toronto from September 21-24 following the Cochrane Colloquium.
