Opportunity Summary:
The NIDCD Clinical Research Center Grant (P50) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-062) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant mechanism intended to support clinical research centers that can make meaningful advances in how human communication disorders are diagnosed, prevented, treated, and ultimately reduced in impact. The program is housed within the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) and is aimed at building or strengthening coordinated, center-based clinical research efforts rather than supporting isolated single projects. In this announcement, "clinical research" is defined broadly as research that directly involves individuals who have communication disorders, as well as research using data or human tissues obtained from people with a communication disorder, which allows both participant-facing and clinically anchored translational work to fit within scope.
The scientific focus spans the full range of NIDCD mission areas, including disorders affecting hearing and balance, smell and taste, and disorders of voice, speech, and language. The solicitation explicitly notes that supported studies may address prevention, disease mechanisms (including pathogenesis and pathophysiology), diagnosis, treatment, management, and epidemiology. In practical terms, this means a proposed center could encompass clinical studies that clarify how a disorder develops, evaluate biomarkers or diagnostic tools, test interventions or management strategies, or analyze patterns and risk factors in patient populations, as long as the work is clearly grounded in communication disorders and involves human participants or their clinical materials/data.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad across U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities); and a wide range of government entities such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, and independent school districts, as well as public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The eligibility section also emphasizes inclusion of institutions and organizations that serve specific communities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply directly, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; however, foreign components may be permitted as defined under the NIH Grants Policy Statement, which typically means limited, well-justified international involvement can be included under certain conditions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.173 (Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) and does not require cost sharing or matching. The posting date for the announcement is December 20, 2012, with administrative record fields showing a creation date of July 19, 2013, and an original closing date of October 1, 2015. The record also shows a current closing date of July 19, 2013, and an archive date of August 19, 2013, indicating that this particular listing is now archived and was associated with specific submission windows during that time period. Applicants looking to pursue a similar center grant today would typically use this notice as a reference point and then confirm whether a newer, active NIDCD P50 clinical research center funding announcement has replaced it.
The full announcement and detailed requirements were provided through the NIH Grants Guide (link: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-062.html).
