archived

Purpose. The NIDCD Small Grant Program (R03) is intended to support basic and clinical research of scientists who are beginning to establish an independent research career. It cannot be used for thesis or dissertation research. The research must be focused on one or more of the areas within the biomedical and behavioral scientific mission of the NIDCD:hearing, balance/vestibular, smell, taste, voice, speech, or language. The NIDCD R03 grant mechanism supports different types of projects including secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and development of new research technology. Irrespective of the type of project, the intent of the NIDCD R03 is for the PD/PI to obtain sufficient preliminary data for a subsequent R01. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R03 grant award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Since 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 mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
