Opportunity Summary:
The NIH National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) announced this discretionary research grant opportunity, titled Research Opportunities on Spasmodic Dysphonia (R01), to push forward the scientific understanding and clinical management of spasmodic dysphonia (SD). The central aim is to fund innovative, collaborative projects that clarify how SD starts and progresses (pathogenesis) and how the disorder operates in the body (pathophysiology), with the practical goal of supporting prevention strategies and better treatments. The FOA is intentionally broad in scientific approach, encouraging basic science, translational work that bridges lab findings into clinical application, and human clinical studies. A major emphasis is on accelerating development and testing of promising therapeutic approaches and on building transdisciplinary collaborations, meaning applicants are encouraged to bring together expertise across fields rather than working within a single traditional discipline.
This opportunity uses the NIH R01 Research Project Grant mechanism, which is typically suited for more mature, hypothesis-driven projects with a substantial scope and a multi-year plan. It is paired with a parallel announcement of the same scientific scope that uses the R21 mechanism (PA 10 156), which is generally oriented toward earlier-stage, exploratory, or high-risk/high-reward work. In practice, this pairing signals that NIDCD wanted to support both exploratory ideas (through R21) and more fully developed programs of research (through R01), all focused on SD.
Funding is not provided through a special set-aside budget for this program. Instead, awards would be made from available institute funds, and both the number of awards and the total dollars committed would depend on the volume of applications received, how strong they are scientifically, how long the proposed projects last, and what budgets are requested. In other words, it is a competitive, open call where final funding outcomes are driven by application quality and cost considerations rather than a fixed allocation.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as PA 10 157 (Funding Opportunity Number) and falls under CFDA 93.173, Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders. It was posted and created on March 30, 2010. The original and final closing date listed is May 7, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on June 7, 2013, indicating it is no longer accepting applications and is maintained primarily for historical reference.
Eligibility is notably broad and designed to include a wide range of research-capable organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and multiple levels of government such as state governments, local governments (city/township, county), special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and independent school districts. The eligibility language also explicitly includes many mission-driven or historically underrepresented institution types and community-based structures, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized), faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and even non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) and regional organizations. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which aligns with common NIH practice for research project grants.
The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, with NIDCD as the issuing institute. For access or technical issues related to the electronic announcement, the listing points to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact. The primary information link associated with the FOA is the NIH Grants Guide page for PA 10 157.
