Opportunity Summary:
The Central Processing of Taste Information (R01) is a National Institutes of Health grant opportunity from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) that supports research on how the brain and broader central nervous system handle taste signals and turn them into the subjective experience of taste quality. The main goal is to push forward both basic and clinically relevant science that explains the central (brain-based) mechanisms behind how taste quality is encoded, processed, and ultimately perceived. In practical terms, this covers work that helps clarify how neural circuits interpret taste-related input and how those processes relate to normal perception as well as potential disorders or disruptions affecting taste.
This opportunity uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which is the standard NIH award type for investigator-initiated research projects. The announcement emphasizes that a wide range of experimental approaches is welcome, which signals flexibility in methods and model systems as long as the work is clearly focused on central processing of taste information. It also explicitly invites applicants who are not traditionally in the gustation (taste research) field, especially if they bring tools, theories, or techniques that have not been widely used in taste research but could meaningfully accelerate progress. Alongside that, NIDCD highlights interest in applications from new investigators who are building independent research programs, indicating an intent to broaden and refresh the research community working on central taste mechanisms.
Funding decisions under this FOA are contingent on the availability of NIH funds and on receiving a sufficient number of high-quality, competitive applications. The announcement does not guarantee a specific number of awards or a fixed funding pool in the excerpt provided; instead, it makes clear that awards depend on both budget realities and scientific merit as determined through the NIH peer review process.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organizational types across the public, private, nonprofit, and governmental spectrum. Eligible applicants include small businesses, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than higher education institutions), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and a variety of government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. Tribal entities are included in multiple forms, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations that are not federally recognized, as well as tribally controlled colleges and universities. The eligibility list also extends to U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and non-U.S. (foreign) organizations, along with specific categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and faith-based or community-based organizations. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants generally are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Key administrative details from the source information include the funding opportunity number PA-10-201 and a posted/creation date of May 20, 2010. The original and current closing date listed is January 7, 2013, with an archive date of February 7, 2013, indicating the opportunity is historical/archived rather than currently open under that specific announcement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Central Processing of Taste Information (R01) - PA-10-201
What is the "Central Processing of Taste Information (R01)" funding opportunity?
This is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). It supports research on how the brain and broader central nervous system process taste signals and translate them into the subjective experience of taste quality.
What is the main scientific focus of this opportunity?
The focus is on central (brain-based) mechanisms of taste quality: how taste-related information is encoded, processed by neural circuits, and ultimately perceived. The intent is to advance both basic and clinically relevant research that explains how taste quality is represented and experienced.
What kinds of research questions fit under "central processing of taste information"?
Based on the description provided, relevant topics include how neural circuits interpret taste-related inputs, how those processes produce normal taste perception, and how disruptions or disorders could affect taste. The emphasis is on central nervous system mechanisms rather than peripheral taste detection alone.
