NIDCD Clinical Research Center Grant (P50)

archived

Purpose. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) invites applications for Clinical Research Center Grants designed to advance the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and amelioration of human communication disorders. The NIDCD believes that most research within its mission areas can be best accomplished via the investigator-initiated individual research grant (R01, R21, R03, R15) and the research core center grant (P30) mechanisms. There are special circumstances in clinical research however, that warrant use of the P50 mechanism to support clinical research. For this announcement, Clinical Research is defined as research involving individuals with communication disorders or data/tissues from individuals with a communication disorder. Examples of such research include but are not limited to, studies of the prevention, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, management or epidemiology of a disease or disorder of hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, or language. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the P50 grant mechanism. 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 the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
