    The Department of Health and Human Services is issuing a funding opportunity through the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) for investigator-initiated, low-risk clinical trials targeting communication disorders. This initiative, identified as PAR-24-051, invites applications for well-designed research that can contribute significantly to the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of conditions affecting hearing, speech, and language. The proposed trials must meet specific criteria: they should not necessitate FDA oversight, be categorized as low-risk, and gather data for further investigational studies rather than aiming to change established health policies or standards of care. Application budgets are capped at $500,000 in direct costs, with a maximum project duration of five years. Proposals will undergo a stringent peer review to ensure scientific merit and adherence to NIDCD's mission. The key submission date for new applications is January 5, 2024, with subsequent cycles outlined for the year until the expiration date of January 8, 2028. This funding opportunity aligns with the NIH's broader commitment to advancing health research and enhancing public health outcomes regarding communication disorders.
