About this opportunity

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) invites applications for Clinical Research Center Grants (P50) to advance diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and amelioration of sensory and communication disorders, with an application due date of October 3, 2026.

Eligible applicants include public and private institutions, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, state and local governments, tribal governments and organizations, faith-based and community-based organizations, and regional organizations. Non-domestic entities and foreign components of U.S. organizations are ineligible; however, foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are permitted within eligible U.S. organizations.

Clinical research must involve individuals with sensory and/or communication disorders or their data and tissues. Research scope encompasses hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, and language disorders, including studies of prevention, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, management, or epidemiology. When clinical research goals warrant limited departures from this intent, alternatives including non-human research, human subjects without sensory or communication disorders, or humans at risk for such disorders are possible with appropriate scientific justification and NIDCD staff consultation. Applications may propose low-risk clinical trials but are not required to do so.

Responsive applications must include a multidisciplinary team collaborating on a synergistic set of 3–4 research projects addressing a unifying theme. The research efforts are supported by an administrative core and 1–2 optional scientific cores. Synergistic and substantial integration of research projects is intended to generate breakthrough solutions to the unifying problem.

This opportunity uses CFDA 93.173 (Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders). Evaluation criteria include scientific merit, investigator qualifications, research environment adequacy, innovation, and potential impact. Review occurs through technical peer review panels and the National Deafness and Other Communication Disorders Advisory Council.
