RFA Goals:

The goals of the RFAs for the NIDCD Accessible and Affordable Hearing Health Care program include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

acquisition of knowledge that can be rapidly translated into new or enhanced approaches for
access, assessment or interventions with a goal to delivering better hearing health care
outcomes.
quality approaches that are effective, affordable and deliverable to those who need them as
well as implementable and sustainable in settings beyond the research environment.
research and/or infrastructure needs leading to more accessible and affordable hearing
health care (HHC).
delivery of better healthcare access and outcomes and be directed to solutions that are
effective, affordable and deliverable to those who need them.
Outcomes and health services research are also responsive to this FOA.
increase utilization of hearing health care technology by underserved patients and thus
reduce health disparities.
identify the variables contributing to successful hearing health care outcomes in adults with
hearing loss, and to develop and evaluate clinical measures of those variables.
to provide support for the creation of new partnerships among researchers and/or between
researchers and interested organizations (e.g., academia, health care organizations, industry,
and patient organizations) and for the conduct of developmental and planning activities for
future research applications. The final objective of the R24 must be the submission of
specific competitive research grant applications (i.e., R01s, R21s, R43/R44, P50s). The R24 is
designed to support new collaborations and is not designed to support groups of
investigators who would normally interact and collaborate in the absence of an R24.
