Opportunity Summary:

The NIDCD Clinical Research Center Grant (P50) is a National Institutes of Health funding opportunity meant to build and support specialized clinical research centers focused on human communication disorders. The main goal is to speed progress in how these disorders are diagnosed, prevented, treated, and ultimately reduced in impact. NIDCD frames "clinical research" broadly here: it includes studies that directly involve people who have a communication disorder, as well as research using data or biospecimens (such as tissues) obtained from individuals with a communication disorder. In practical terms, the program is meant to fund organized, center-style efforts that can bring together multiple lines of clinical investigation under one coordinated umbrella, rather than supporting only a single stand-alone project.

The scientific scope is wide across NIDCD's mission areas. Eligible research can address prevention, underlying causes and biological mechanisms (pathogenesis and pathophysiology), diagnosis, treatment, clinical management, and epidemiology. The disorders of interest include conditions affecting hearing and balance, as well as smell and taste disorders, and a range of voice, speech, and language disorders. The announcement emphasizes that studies do not need to fit a narrow mold; the examples listed are illustrative rather than exhaustive, signaling that other well-justified clinical research directions tied to communication disorders may also be responsive.

Administratively, this opportunity is a discretionary grant using the NIH P50 center grant mechanism, under Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-277. The associated CFDA number is 93.173 (Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to provide a formal financial match as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted July 18, 2013 (created July 19, 2013), with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2016, and it was archived July 3, 2016. Because it is archived, it is not currently open for new applications, but the summary remains useful for understanding the structure and intent of this NIDCD center-based clinical research program and for tracking related or successor announcements.

Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, special district, and independent school district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; small businesses; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The eligibility list also explicitly includes various mission-focused institution types and community-serving organizations, 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 Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply; however, "foreign components" as defined by NIH policy may be allowed, meaning a U.S. applicant might be able to include certain international elements if they meet NIH's definition and requirements.
