The Deafness Research Foundation (DRF) is a national voluntary health organization committed to directing public attention and support for basic as well as clinical research on the causes, treatment, and prevention of deafness and other hearing disabilities. DRF's principal work is that of awarding grants to finance promising new medical and scientific research projects, nationwide and in Canada. DRF's public education program informs individuals about the preventive aspects of deafness and hearing loss. Public service announcements and brochures are produced and distributed across the country.
