Young Children with Mild to Severe Hearing Loss (R01) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Young Children with Mild to Severe Hearing Loss (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-07-399) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement led by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). Its central goal is to support research that improves understanding of the needs of infants and young children who have mild to severe hearing loss, with an emphasis on studies that can strengthen assessment, intervention, and overall outcomes during early development. A specific priority called out in the announcement is the development, refinement, or modification of measurement tools designed for young children with hearing loss, which includes instruments and methods that can more accurately capture hearing ability, communication development, and related functional outcomes in very early childhood.

This FOA uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which generally supports more mature, hypothesis-driven projects that are ready for a full research plan rather than early-stage exploration. The announcement also notes that it runs in parallel with a companion FOA of the same scientific scope (PA-07-400) that uses the R21 Developmental Research Award mechanism, providing a separate pathway for shorter, more preliminary or exploratory projects. In practice, this means applicants should choose the R01 route if they have a well-developed study with clear aims, methods, and an appropriate scope for a standard research project grant, while the R21 track exists for projects still in earlier development.

Funding levels and the number of awards are not fixed in advance. Instead, awards depend on federal fund availability and the volume of strong, fundable proposals received. Because projects can differ widely in design, sample size, duration, and resource needs, the FOA anticipates that both the size and the length of awards will vary across funded projects. The total funding ultimately issued under the announcement and how many awards are made will be driven by the scientific quality of applications, the proposed period of support, and the budgets requested.

The opportunity is categorized as discretionary grant funding in the health area and is associated with CFDA 93.173 (Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which is important for organizations that may not have the ability or desire to commit non-federal matching funds. Eligibility is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, as specified), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and state governments. The FOA explicitly states that foreign institutions are eligible to apply, which expands the applicant pool beyond U.S.-based organizations.

The announcement was posted July 13, 2007, with multiple receipt dates (rather than a single deadline), meaning applications could be submitted on recurring NIH due dates during the active period of the FOA. The listing indicates an archive date of August 5, 2010, reflecting that the opportunity is no longer open under that specific announcement, but it remains useful as a reference point for the research priorities NIDCD highlighted at the time. For the complete original text, the FOA points to the NIH Grants Guide page at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-07-399.html, and it provides NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts for access or technical issues related to the online posting.
