Opportunity Summary:
The NIDCD Research Dissertation Fellowship for Au.D. Audiologists (F32) is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (specifically the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, listed as HHS-NIH11). Its core aim is to help audiologists who hold (or are pursuing) the clinical Doctor of Audiology degree (Au.D.) obtain deep, structured research training and complete dissertation research that culminates in a research doctorate, typically a Ph.D., in fields tied to NIDCDs mission. In practical terms, the fellowship is designed to build a strong pipeline of clinician-scientists by giving Au.D. audiologists the time, mentorship, and resources to conduct rigorous research and develop into independent investigators working in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical science areas relevant to hearing and related communication disorders.
The program emphasizes two tightly connected components: comprehensive research training and the execution of a dissertation research project. The training aspect is meant to be broad and rigorous, reflecting NIH expectations for high-quality research preparation, including mentored development in research design, responsible conduct of research, analytic methods, and discipline-specific skills needed to succeed in a research-intensive Ph.D. pathway. The dissertation component supports the fellow in carrying out a focused research plan that is suitable for a doctoral dissertation, meaning it should be substantial enough to advance knowledge in the field while also serving as a capstone research experience that demonstrates the fellows growth as a scientist.
This opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number PAR-16-210 and falls under a grant funding instrument with a health-related funding activity category. It is associated with CFDA numbers 93.173 (and also lists 93.173 in the source data), indicating it sits within an established federal assistance program area tied to NIDCD-supported research and training. The announcement was created and posted on April 21, 2016, with an application due date shown as May 7, 2019 (both the original and current closing date are the same in the provided record). The listing does not provide an award ceiling or expected number of awards in the supplied fields, so those details would normally be confirmed by consulting the full NIH announcement and related NIH policy pages for the F32 mechanism.
Eligibility in the record is broad at the organizational level and includes many common applicant institution types: public and state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and a range of government entities (state, county, city or township, special district governments, and independent school districts). It also includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, plus an "Others" category with further clarification typically found in the full announcement text. Even though many organization types are listed as eligible to submit, this is a fellowship mechanism, so the intent is that an individual fellow (an Au.D. audiologist pursuing a Ph.D.) applies through and with the sponsorship of an eligible institution and under the mentorship of an appropriate research sponsor(s), consistent with how NIH fellowship applications are generally structured.
Overall, the fellowship can be understood as a targeted NIH training investment: it supports Au.D. audiologists who are committing to a research doctorate by funding a mentored, dissertation-driven research and training period. The bigger picture goal is workforce development in hearing and communication sciences by equipping clinically trained audiologists with the research credentials and intensive scientific training needed to contribute meaningfully to biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research.
