The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering the NIDCD Research Career Enhancement Award for Established Investigators (K18), aimed at supporting experienced researchers in enhancing or redirecting their research capabilities in communication disorders. This grant is specifically designed for established scientists, holding academic titles of Associate Professor or higher, who seek to acquire new research skills without conducting independent clinical trials, with a commitment to a mentored training period of six months to two years. The initiative is crucial for enabling researchers to stay current with evolving techniques in the fields of hearing, balance, and communication sciences, thereby enhancing their competitiveness for future NIH funding. Applications are due starting May 10, 2024, and interested applicants can find more information and submission guidelines at the NIH grants website or contact NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov.
