Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Development of Outcome Measures to Determine Success of Hearing Health Care (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 10-112) is a discretionary National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding announcement led by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). Its central goal is to support R01 research projects that create and test a set of outcome measures that can be used to judge whether hearing health care for adults with hearing loss is actually successful. The emphasis is not just on whether hearing aids are provided, but on whether the overall care and its results meaningfully improve real-world functioning, satisfaction, and sustained use.
A key motivation behind this opportunity is the recognized gap in clear, validated ways to measure hearing health care outcomes, especially for adult hearing aid users. The announcement highlights a strong need to identify which variables drive successful outcomes. In practical terms, that means developing measures that capture both patient-centered factors and instrument-centered factors. Patient-centered variables can include things like perceived benefit, communication ability in daily life, quality of life, participation in social settings, expectations, motivation, comfort, and satisfaction with care. Instrument-centered variables focus more on the device and its performance, such as fitting parameters, audibility, sound quality, usability, reliability, and how well the hearing aid works across different listening environments. The overall intent is to move toward outcome measures that can credibly connect hearing health care processes and technologies to meaningful improvements for patients.
The funding mechanism is the NIH Research Project Grant (R01), which is the standard mechanism for supporting investigator-driven health research projects. Applicants are expected to propose research that both develops and evaluates outcome measures, meaning the work should go beyond creating a questionnaire or metric and should also include testing for performance and usefulness. This typically implies attention to things like validity, reliability, sensitivity to change, feasibility in clinical or community settings, and relevance to adult hearing health care decisions, although the announcement itself keeps the description high-level and focused on the need for outcome measurement development.
The total funding amount and the number of awards were not fixed in advance. Instead, NIH indicated that award levels would depend on how many applications were submitted and, importantly, on the quality, proposed duration, and costs of those applications. In other words, the competition and the strength of the research plans would determine how many projects were ultimately supported and at what budget levels.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of organizations. Eligible applicants listed include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, and for-profit organizations (with small businesses called out separately). Government entities at multiple levels were eligible as well, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The announcement also allowed a wide range of other eligible applicant types, such as federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), faith-based and community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and even non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations). Cost sharing or matching was not required.
The opportunity was posted on February 19, 2010, with an original and final closing date of February 1, 2012, and it was archived on March 3, 2012. The CFDA program number associated with it is 93.173 (Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders). For reference and full details, NIH provided an additional information link to the full announcement on the NIH grants site, and the contact listed for access or technical issues was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
