The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) is offering this grant to promote timely human otopathology research. This grant aims to establish a collaborative network for studying ear disorders, integrating new discoveries in genetics, physiology, and disease. Its purpose is to create infrastructure optimizing expertise, improving temporal bone tissue procurement and sharing, and coordinating new otopathologist and technician training. This cooperative agreement will facilitate networking among labs, maximizing impact and novelty. Explicit collaborations linking modern biology, imaging, and informatics with patient history and pathology are encouraged for a new research approach.

| Description: | Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), National Institutes of Health (NIH) will promote timely human otopathology research relevant to new discoveries in genetics, physiology and disease. Emphasis is on collaborative infrastructure for research on human ear disorders, where a combined approach can optimize expertise from a few small laboratories, improve the targeted procurement and shared use of particular temporal bone tissues, and coordinate training of new otopathologists and technicians. A cooperative agreement will coordinate networking approaches from different temporal bone laboratories to maximize impact and novelty while avoiding duplicative efforts. Explicit collaborations to link modern biology, imaging, and informatics technologies with patient history and pathology will provide a new approach to otopathology. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the U24 award mechanism with Cooperative Agreements to form a Network from a few highly rated applications. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. For this funding opportunity, $1.5M has been set aside for total costs in FY2011, expecting three awards. |
