Outcomes research and health services research related to accessible and affordable hearing health care are also responsive to this FOA. This FOA provides support for up to two years (R21 phase) for preliminary /development studies, followed by possible transition of up to four years of expanded research and development support (R33 phase). The total project period for an application submitted in response to this FOA may not exceed five years. This FOA requires measurable R21 milestones.
