About this opportunity

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Tackling Acquisition of Language in Kids (TALK) initiative is seeking research projects that aim to better understand the information and practice needs of caregivers, professionals, and other stakeholders supporting late talking children. The NIH specifically wants community-engaged research with rigorous qualitative methodologies to assess how current information and practices are meeting the needs of those supporting children with language delays. Applicants will be evaluated based on scientific merit, including the significance of the proposed research, technical approach, investigator qualifications, research environment, innovation, and relevance to program objectives. Eligible applicants include small businesses, nonprofits, state and local governments, higher education institutions, and tribal organizations. The application deadline for this R21 grant opportunity (which does not allow clinical trials) is December 9, 2025.

The total estimated available funding for this initiative is approximately $2,000,000, with individual awards likely ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. The research is expected to be conducted domestically, with an anticipated award start date of December 1, 2025. Projects will be funded under multiple federal grant programs, including Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865), Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173), and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (CFDA 93.350). The research should focus on gathering diverse perspectives to improve how state-of-the-science information and practices reach those most involved in supporting late talking children.
