Integrative Systems Biology Approaches to Auditory Hair Cell Regeneration (R21)

archived

-Purpose. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) invites grant applications using comprehensive systems biology approaches intended to restore lost auditory hair cells and their sensory function following damage to the inner ear from a variety of factors including disease, aminoglycosides, noise, and aging. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-08-177, that solicits applications under the R01. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon application numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
