Description

This opportunity supports postdoctoral Au.D./Ph.D. audiologists seeking mentored career development to become independent investigators in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences closely aligned with the mission of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). The award provides protected time and funding for research and career development activities, with a focus on candidates proposing to serve as lead investigators of independent basic experimental studies with humans (i.e., clinical trials that also meet the definition of basic research). The expectation is that awardees will transition to independent research careers and become competitive for research project grants (e.g., R01).
