The ARO invites proposals for funding of small grants (up to $1000) to support activities either in the US or internationally that would enhance our mission and visibility as the premier hearing research organization in the world. Some specific activities that could be considered include:
Requirements: Applicants must be ARO members, and lectures/events must include a slide and/or other materials that acknowledge ARO support. The ARO will fund up to three grants per year.
Please send proposals to ARO headquarters at headquarters@aro.org
Please see funding opportunities that have been submitted to the ARO by likeminded organizations. If you would like your funding opportunity posted to the ARO website, please email the details to headquarters@aro.org

The FY23 HRRP FRA mechanism is intended to support promising research that accelerates drug discovery and therapeutic development for hearing restoration after military-relevant auditory system injury. Applicants are encouraged to leverage resources and expertise at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) to improve efficiency and accelerate the translational process.
Key dates:
Pre-Application Submission Deadline: 5:00 p.m. Eastern time (ET), August 15, 2023
Application Submission Deadline: 11:59 p.m. ET, September 1, 2023
Note: Applicants now need to submit a Letter of Intent approximately 2 weeks before submitting their full application. The purpose of the LOI is to help the program make plans for peer review.

NIDCD would like to share two new funding opportunities related to HIV/AIDS:
PAR-20-123
Advancing HIV/AIDS Research within the Mission of the NIDCD (R21 Clinical Trial Optional)
PAR-20-127
Advancing HIV/AIDS Research within the Mission of the NIDCD (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
The purpose of these Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA) are to stimulate HIV/AIDS research within the scientific mission areas of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communications Disorders (NIDCD). Applications should address high priority HIV/AIDS research outlined by the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR) [https://www.oar.nih.gov/hiv-policy-and-research/research-priorities] in the areas of hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language.
The RNID Translational Grant aims to support and accelerate the translation of research discoveries into potential new treatments to protect and regenerate hearing and/or silence tinnitus.
Scope: We request translational research proposals that will advance the development of small molecule, gene or cell-based therapeutics for the treatment of hearing disorders, including tinnitus. We will fund projects at both academic institutions and small/medium enterprises in any country.
We want to support:

2023 RNID Discovery Research Grant
Through this scheme, we aim to support projects that will generate knowledge to underpin the discovery of treatments for hearing loss or tinnitus, or improve benefit gained from medical devices.
We are continuing our partnership with Alzheimer’s Research UK to co-fund research that will increase our understanding of the common biological mechanisms underlying hearing loss and dementia.
This year, we would also particularly like to encourage applications improving medical devices for hearing, diagnosis of hearing loss, or measuring outcomes when testing new treatments.
The application process for this scheme has two stages, consisting of an open preliminary application stage followed by an invitation-only full application stage.
