archived

Purpose. This FOA, issued by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, National Institutes of Health, encourages Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) applications from institutions/organizations to support research leading to accessible and affordable hearing health care (HHC). The overarching emphasis is on the acquisition of knowledge that can be rapidly translated into new or enhanced approaches for access, assessment or interventions with a goal to delivering better hearing health care outcomes. Applications should seek quality approaches that are effective, affordable and deliverable to those who need them as well as implementable and sustainable in settings beyond the research environment. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R21 grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-10-253, that encourages applications under the R01 mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount awarded and the anticipated number of awards will depend upon the quality, duration and costs of the applications received.
