The International Scholarship for Research on Primary Snoring has become firmly entrenched in sleep medicine. It will be awarded for the fourth time in 2019, this time jointly by SomniShop and a well-known non-profit  organisation, the European Society for Sleep Health (ESSH).

Snoring is not only annoying, it can also severely impair the snorer’s health. Some of the most prevalent effects of snoring can include; daytime tiredness, concentration problems and bad breath.

There are already countless scientific studies on pathological snoring, or obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). On the other hand, the area of primary snoring, i.e. non-pathological snoring, is still insufficiently researched. That is why SomniShop and the ESSH have set themselves the goal of promoting scientific work in this highly interesting field of research. For only on the basis of solid scientific findings can the quality of life of those affected be improved.

The International Scholarship for Research on Primary Snoring is awarded every year. For the award in 2019, the research prize is endowed with prize money of up to USD 2,800 (approx. EUR 2,500), the amount of the prize money and the possible distribution among several prize winners are at the discretion of the selection jury.

The application deadline for the International Scholarship for Research on Primary Snoring 2019 is 31 July 2019. Please send applications only by e-mail to: scholarship(at)somnishop.net. All participants will be notified of the jury’s decision.

We will treat all applications as strictly confidential and will not share them with third parties, with the exception of our external jury members. Our complete (and strict) privacy policy can be found on https://somnishop.net.

Important notice: During the last competition we received many general requests for funding. This scholarship is merit-based, i.e. general requests for funding without any submission of a specific proposal or idea related to primary snoring will not be entertained. What you should provide us with is at least a rough idea on how you would improve the therapy or diagnosis of primary snoring. This proposal could be related to certain product categories that you find on this website (for instance, snoring mouthpieces, nasal dilators or positional therapy). However, this is not necessary: our 2017 prize winner, for instance, presented a brilliant idea on virtual operation simulation that is very relevant for (nasal) snoring surgery.
