Opportunity Summary:
The NIDCD Research on Hearing Health Care (R01) funding opportunity (PA-14-091) is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant solicitation that supports Research Project Grant (R01) applications aimed at improving hearing health care in practical, real-world ways. The central goal is to generate knowledge and evidence that can move quickly from research findings into usable solutions, with a clear emphasis on making hearing health care more accessible and more affordable while also improving outcomes for the people who need these services. The opportunity is framed around work that can lead directly to new or improved approaches for access to care, better methods of hearing assessment, and more effective interventions, all with an eye toward deployment outside of a controlled research setting.
A key theme in the announcement is translation and implementation. Projects are expected to focus on approaches that are not only scientifically sound, but also effective, affordable, and deliverable at scale. In other words, the research should point toward solutions that can actually be used by clinics, community programs, and other service settings, including environments with limited resources. Applications are encouraged to prioritize quality and practicality, addressing whether the proposed methods can be implemented sustainably beyond the grant period and beyond specialized research infrastructure. This makes the FOA especially relevant for studies that consider real-world barriers such as cost, workforce limitations, geographic access, health literacy, and the ability of systems to adopt and maintain improved care models over time.
The funding instrument is an NIH R01, which generally supports investigator-initiated, hypothesis-driven or problem-focused research projects of substantial scope. The activity category is health, and 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 required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of domestic and non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, with the exception noted for nonprofits that are institutions of higher education), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district, and independent school districts), as well as public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Tribal governments and tribal organizations are included, both federally recognized and other-than-federally recognized, along with tribally controlled colleges and universities. The FOA also explicitly includes eligibility for minority-serving institutions and mission-specific organizations such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, and AANAPISIs. Faith-based and community-based organizations may apply, and foreign organizations and foreign institutions are eligible as non-U.S. entities; non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also eligible, and foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy. This wide eligibility reflects the program’s interest in solutions that can be tested and adopted in varied populations and settings.
In terms of timing and status, the FOA was posted and created on February 5, 2014. The original and current closing date listed is May 7, 2017, and the archive date is June 7, 2017, indicating that this particular announcement is no longer active for new submissions under the same solicitation cycle.

Overall, PA-14-091 is best understood as a research funding opportunity focused on closing the gap between hearing health care research and everyday practice. It emphasizes actionable evidence and interventions that can be delivered to people who need them, at a cost and with an implementation approach that makes uptake realistic across diverse health care and community settings.
