Funds centres doing clinical research on hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech and language disorders.
Funds translational cancer research programmes — several linked projects on one organ-specific cancer or a related group — reaching a human endpoint.
Funds specialised biomedical research centers built to replace animal testing with new human-based research models.
Funds a specialised, multi-investigator centre on alcohol misuse and its consequences, built to outperform its individual research projects added up.
Funds the renewal of NICHD's IDD research centres — about 15 awards from an $18 million pool. Only existing centres may apply.
