Coordinating Center for National Resource Network for the Study of Human Auditory and Vestibular Disorders (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Supports a coordinating center for a national resource network that provides human inner and middle ear tissues and related coordination services for auditory and vestibular research.
⚑ U24 cooperative agreement; clinical trials not allowed · Funds a coordinating center/resource network, not primary laboratory or clinical research · Foreign institutions and other listed entity types are eligible; no stated restriction to universities
This is a biomedical/clinical resource-coordination grant for auditory and vestibular disorder research, centered on human ear tissues and translational science. It is far outside IPPRA’s public-opinion, hazard communication, education policy, and socio-technical risk research lines, so this team would not plausibly pursue it as PI-level work.
