The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) invites applications to organize and execute an annual conference on dissemination and implementation (D&I) research skills applicable to all NIDCD mission areas, specifically hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language. A cooperative agreement means that an NIDCD Program Official will be designated as Project Coordinator for the conference and will have substantial scientific, programmatic involvement during the award. This funding opportunity aims to support an annual conference focused on building the D&I expertise of investigators conducting or planning on conducting research in NIDCD mission areas of hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language. The conference should enhance the ability of attendees to conduct high-quality D&I research in NIDCD mission areas. A permission-to-submit letter is required and should be requested 6 weeks (i.e., October 14, 2024) before the receipt date of November 25, 2024.
For more information, view the funding opportunity announcement.
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders’s (NIDCD) strategic plan includes a focus on dissemination and implementation (D&I) research. D&I is intended to close the gap between research and practice by providing frameworks and tools to understand why evidence-based practices aren’t being used in real world settings and to support people and places in adopting, implementing, and sustaining evidence-based practices. This funding opportunity aims to support early-stage D&I research in NIDCD mission areas of hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language. Resulting findings should set a sufficient foundation for a high-quality, D&I focused R01 in NIDCD mission areas. A D&I process model and other core D&I research elements should guide the research goals of the application. A letter of intent is encouraged by September 11, 2024. Applications are due October 11, 2024.
For more information, view the funding opportunity announcement.

NIDCD would like to share a new funding opportunity related training in dissemination and implementation (D&I) science in communication disorders. D&I is intended to close the gap between research and practice by providing frameworks and tools to understand why evidence-based practices aren’t being used in real world settings and to support people and places in adopting, implementing, and sustaining evidence-based practices.
NOT-DC-24-024
The purpose of the funding opportunity is both (1) to encourage those with expertise in communication disorders to pursue research and training in D&I science, and (2) to encourage those with D&I expertise to pursue research and training in the NIDCD mission areas of hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language.
Applications for this initiative must use one of the training and career development funding opportunities listed in the notice with options available across all career stages, including predoctoral students (e.g., F30, F31, FM1), post-doctoral fellows (e.g., F32, K99/R00, K01), new and junior investigators (e.g., K01, K08, K23, K25), and established investigators (e.g., K18, K24). Likewise, there are institutional funding opportunities aimed at establishing mentoring networks (e.g., R25), providing research experiences (e.g., R25), and enhancing predoctoral and postdoctoral research training (e.g., T32, T35) for D&I research in communication disorders.
