SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is in accordance with 42 U.S.C.
285m, of the Public Health Service Act,
as amended. The NIDCD’s mission is to
support research and training on the
normal and disordered processes of
hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice,
speech, and language. Our vision is to
advance the science of communication
to improve lives. In pursuit of its
mission and as outlined in the 2023–
2027 Strategic Plan https://
www.nidcd.nih.gov/about/strategicplans, NIDCD supports basic,
translational, and clinical research on
hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice,
speech and language. One of the crosscutting priorities listed in the strategic
plan is to participate in international
research to improve global health
through reducing the burden of hearing
loss and communication disorders in
the US and around the globe. For more
information about current international
initiatives related to the NIDCD mission
visit https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/
research/global-health.
International collaboration has a long
history at NIDCD in both its intramural
laboratories and its support of
extramural research, with such research
leading to discoveries and advances in
knowledge, for example the
identification of deafness and stuttering
gene variations, and improvements in
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) for
Communication. A notable example of
successful translational research from
the hearing program is the development
of cochlear implant which resulted from
collaboration among multiple scientific
disciplines working in the US and
collaborating across borders.
NIDCD, like other NIH Institutes,
funds highly meritorious research
throughout the world, both through
direct awards to non-U.S. institutions
and indirectly through awards to U.S.
institutions. NIDCD is interested in
advancing knowledge by strengthening
our engagement across the globe in all
settings, whether highly resourced or
under resourced. By resources, we do
not mean just financial resources and
include availability of human capital
and infrastructure. Reducing the burden
of deafness and communication
disorders requires a diverse work force

that includes physicians, namely
otolaryngologists, audiologists, speechlanguage pathologists, nurses,
neuroscientists, psychologists,
epidemiologists and many other health
and educational professionals. Clinical
care may be medical, surgical,
pharmacologic or behavioral.
Availability of professionals and
especially research scientists is uneven
within countries and across regions of
the world. In the case of communication
disorders, knowledge of the language in
the area and the culture are essential for
effective evaluation and treatment,
especially for speech, language and
hearing assessment and behavioral
intervention.
Recognizing that health is a
fundamental human right, so is the right
to communicate. NIDCD seeks mutuality
of purpose in establishing partnerships
across the world to re-imagine a more
equitable world.
Information Requested
NIDCD seeks input from a broad array
of interested parties, including (but not
limited to) people with lived experience
or family members, research
organizations, academic institutions,
multilateral organizations, community
organizations, professional societies,
businesses, health services
organizations, other government
agencies and those receiving funding or
employed by NIH. NIDCD welcomes
thoughts about the appropriateness of
the topics below, potential benefits or
challenges, suggestions and examples of
existing or potential partnerships and
any other topic respondents believe is
relevant for NIDCD to consider.
Capacity Building: Develop, maintain
and renew scientific research capacity
of individuals to build future leaders of
research in under-resourced and
underserved areas in the US and abroad.
Addressing current challenges requires
a critical mass of capable clinicianscientists and basic scientists that know
the language in any given country and
understand the cultural and social
context.
Strategic partnerships: Build and
strengthen strategic partnerships with
other NIH Institutes and Centers, other
US Government agencies, research
funding agencies of other countries,
foundations and industry. Doing so
would increase strength and
sustainability and create synergy for
greater public good.
Dissemination and Implementation
Research (DIR): Support research and
research training in dissemination and
implementation research and improve
its impact on the health and health care
of populations, by fostering rapid

integration of research, practice and
policy.
WHO Rehabilitation 2030: Advance
research on rehabilitation of disorders of
voice, speech, language, hearing,
balance, taste and smell by promoting
transdisciplinary collaboration among
researchers funded by NIH Institutes
and other US federal agencies working
to promote the World Health
Organization (WHO) initiative
‘‘Rehabilitation 2030’’ https://
www.who.int/initiatives/rehabilitation2030.
World Regions: Select regions in the
world, continents, or countries, based
on opportunities they provide for largest
impact, i.e., shared regional language,
population size, unique health system,
social practice that influences genetic X
environmental interaction, availability
of research infrastructure or existing
partnerships to build on or link to
others.
Solutions to Global Workforce
Challenges: Work to reduce the brain
drain of researchers and health
professionals from under resourced
areas to highly resourced areas by
creating innovative programs that
harness the experience and skills of
research clinicians across diasporas and
engage them in their regions of origin.
We look forward to your input and
hope that you will share this RFI
opportunity with your colleagues.
