Opportunity Summary:
The NIDCD Mentored Career Development Award for Postdoctorate Au.D./Ph.D. Audiologists (K01) is a National Institutes of Health career development grant designed to help postdoctoral-level audiologists with Au.D. and/or Ph.D. training build the skills, experience, and research record needed to transition into independent investigator roles. Administered through NIH under HHS (listed as HHS-NIH11) and aligned with the mission of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), the opportunity focuses on supporting structured, mentored research training in areas that fit within NIDCD-relevant science. The overarching goal is to develop promising audiologists into productive researchers who can compete successfully for future independent funding and lead health-related research programs.
This K01 opportunity emphasizes comprehensive and rigorous postdoctoral research training experiences, meaning applicants are expected to pursue a well-planned mentored career development pathway rather than a short-term or loosely defined project. Supported work can fall within biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences, as long as it connects to NIDCD mission areas, which broadly include hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language, and the disorders affecting these systems. In practice, the award is meant to help an early-career audiologist strengthen research competencies, deepen methodological expertise, and establish a clear trajectory toward scientific independence through supervised training and a focused research plan.
The program is offered as a discretionary grant funding instrument, categorized under the health funding activity area, and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.173 (and also lists 93.173 in the provided data). The funding opportunity number is PAR-16-320, and it was originally posted on June 8, 2016. The listed closing date for the opportunity was September 7, 2019 (both the original and current closing date reflect that same date in the provided record). While the summary record does not provide an award ceiling or an expected number of awards, the intent is clearly career development support rather than a one-off research award, with the central value being mentored training that positions the candidate for independent research success.
Eligibility is broad on the institutional side, reflecting NIH’s general approach of allowing many types of organizations to serve as the applicant institution on behalf of the candidate. Eligible applicants include various levels of government (state, county, city or township, and special district governments), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (including those not federally recognized in the separate category listed), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those specific nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The listing also includes an “Others†category with a note to consult the opportunity text for additional eligibility clarifications, indicating there may be additional conditions or institution-specific requirements in the full announcement.
In plain terms, this K01 is aimed at supporting the next step for audiologists who have completed their doctoral training and are in the postdoctoral stage, offering a mentored pathway to become independent investigators in hearing and communication sciences and related clinical or behavioral research areas. The central theme is career development through a combination of mentored research, training, and professional growth activities that collectively prepare the candidate to lead an independent program of research relevant to NIDCD priorities.
