NIDCD Research Grants for Translating Basic Research into Clinical Practice
Funds translational research turning basic findings into clinical tools for communication disorders, with practical clinical impact required.
A finding in a lab does not become something a clinician can use on its own. This notice funds the work in between, for hearing, voice, speech, language and the other conditions NIDCD covers.
What is funded is translational research, explicitly requiring basic scientists, clinicians and clinical scientists to jointly initiate and conduct the project — translating basic research findings into clin…
Translational research jointly led by basic scientists, clinicians and clinical scientists, translating basic research findings into clinical tools with a clearly established connection to the clinical condition and practical clinical impact, to advance diagnosis, treatment or prevention of communication disorders. Clinical trials are optional.
