Young Children with Mild to Severe Hearing Loss (R01)

-Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) encourages research applications from institutions/organizations addressing research needs on the young child (infants and children) with mild to severe hearing loss. Development, refinement or modification of measurement tools for young children with hearing loss is also encouraged. . -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-07-400 that encourages applications under the R21 Developmental Research Award. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. 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.
