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. 

To what extent did your project address each of these goals?

Prior to the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) in this area, were you already conducting research in Accessible and Affordable Hearing Health Care?

Did the FOA encourage you to take your research in a new direction?

What obstacles are there in expanding the field of Accessible and Affordable Hearing Health Care?

Do you think a new FOA in Accessible and Affordable Hearing Health Care could solicit research that would help overcome the obstacles you encountered?

 Yes  No

If yes, share your thoughts on how a funding opportunity could help; including development of tools or standardized measurements that are lacking, etc.:
