Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 24 069

The NIDCD Research Dissertation Fellowship for Au.D. Audiologists (F32) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-24-069) is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant designed to support Au.D.-trained audiologists who are pursuing a research doctorate (Ph.D.) in a biomedical, behavioral, or clinical science. The program focuses on building strong research capacity through a structured, comprehensive training plan paired with rigorous dissertation research. In practice, it is meant to help develop clinician-scientists in audiology by providing dedicated support during the dissertation phase, when advanced research training and protected time can make a major difference in research productivity and long-term career development.

The opportunity sits in the NIH health funding area (CFDA 93.173) and uses the fellowship/grant mechanism to support intensive research training leading to a Ph.D. While the core intent is centered on dissertation-stage research training, the emphasis is equally on the quality and rigor of the candidate's overall research preparation. Applicants should expect that a competitive proposal will need to clearly articulate a training trajectory, explain how the planned dissertation work advances knowledge in relevant NIDCD mission areas, and demonstrate that the mentoring and research environment are strong enough to support a high-quality research doctorate.

A wide range of U.S.-based organizations may serve as eligible applicants or host institutions, reflecting NIH's broad eligibility framework. Eligible entities include various levels of government (state, county, city/township), special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Higher education institutions are eligible across categories, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. Tribal eligibility is also included, covering federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized. The eligible pool further includes nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and other types of applicants as allowed under NIH rules. The funding notice also explicitly highlights categories of institutions and organizations that NIH often encourages to participate, such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, AANAPISI institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions.

On the international side, the rules draw a clear line: non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. At the same time, the announcement allows "foreign components" as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement. This distinction matters because it means an otherwise eligible U.S. applicant organization may be able to include a formally defined foreign component in the project when it is scientifically justified and compliant with NIH policy, even though a foreign organization cannot be the applicant institution itself.

Key administrative details provided in the source include that the sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, the opportunity category is discretionary, and the original closing date is January 7, 2027. The award ceiling and expected number of awards are not specified in the provided listing, which typically means applicants should consult the full NIH funding announcement text and NIH policy documents for the current stipend levels, allowable costs, duration, and budget structure associated with the F32 mechanism. The opportunity was created in the source system on November 22, 2023, which can be useful for tracking the version of the notice and any subsequent updates or reissues.

Overall, this fellowship is best understood as a targeted NIH training-and-research support mechanism for Au.D. audiologists who are committing to Ph.D.-level research careers. It is structured to strengthen the research pipeline in hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language-related sciences by supporting the intensive dissertation research period and ensuring applicants have a rigorous mentoring, training, and scientific plan that aligns with NIDCD's biomedical and clinical research priorities.
