AURIS is a Geneva-based Swiss foundation that funds research, clinical innovation, equipment, and limited humanitarian support in the senses of hearing, balance/vestibular function, smell, and vision. Its grants appear to go mainly to hospital- and university-affiliated researchers and clinicians in Romandie, with a strong preference for projects that connect basic research to practical clinical applications, specialized devices, or measurable patient benefit. The foundation also supports scholarships/bursaries and individual assistance, but the overall pattern is highly medical and translational rather than broad public charity.
Primarily project-based grants and equipment purchases, with additional bursaries and individual assistance; support is typically targeted, research-oriented, and likely invitation- or relationship-driven through local medical/research networks in Geneva and Vaud rather than an open national competition.

Prioritize translational projects in hearing, balance, smell, or vision that clearly need specialized equipment, clinical access, or measurable patient outcomes, and emphasize eligibility in Geneva/Vaud or strong ties to local institutions. Applications should be framed for ORL, audiology, vestibular, or ophthalmology impact; because AURIS funds both research and equipment, include a concise budget and explain how the purchase or study advances clinical practice.
