Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 25 250
The NIDCD Research Dissertation Fellowship for Au.D. Audiologists (F32), listed under funding opportunity number PAR-25-250, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed to support advanced research training and dissertation work for audiologists pursuing a research doctorate (Ph.D.). The program sits within the health funding category (CFDA 93.173) and is run through the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). Its core goal is to build a strong pipeline of clinician-scientists by providing structured, high-quality biomedical research training alongside the fellow's dissertation research in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical science areas relevant to NIDCDs mission.
At a practical level, this fellowship is intended to fund a comprehensive and rigorous training experience, not just a single research project. The emphasis is on preparing Au.D.-trained individuals to become independent researchers by combining mentored research, dissertation progress toward a Ph.D., and a formal training plan that strengthens research skills. The opportunity is framed as a dissertation fellowship, meaning it is closely tied to the fellow's doctoral training trajectory and is meant to support the period in which the fellow is developing as a researcher through mentored investigation and completion of dissertation research.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes many types of applicant organizations beyond typical universities. In addition to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; and certain housing authorities (public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities). The opportunity also allows applications from Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). Both nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education) and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), as well as small businesses, are listed as eligible.
The announcement also explicitly highlights additional eligible applicant categories that NIH often calls out to encourage broad participation and representation. These include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American, Native American, and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs); Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). Faith-based or community-based organizations are included, as are eligible agencies of the federal government, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Notably, the eligibility list also includes non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations), signaling that certain international organizational applicants may be able to participate depending on NIH policy and the specific requirements of the funding announcement.
Key administrative details from the source information include an original closing date of January 7, 2028, and a creation date of January 8, 2025. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary. The award ceiling and expected number of awards are not specified in the provided source data, so applicants would need to consult the full funding announcement or NIH guidance for any budget limits, typical award levels, project period expectations, and fellowship-specific cost categories (such as stipend, tuition/fees, and training-related expenses, if applicable under the mechanism).
Overall, PAR-25-250 is best understood as a mentored NIH fellowship opportunity aimed at helping Au.D.-trained individuals complete Ph.D.-level dissertation research while receiving intensive research training, with broad institutional eligibility intended to support participation across many sectors and institution types.Apply for PAR 25 250
