Opportunity Information: Apply for W81XWH 20 HRRP FRA
The DoD Hearing Restoration Focused Research Award (FY20 HRRP FRA), funding opportunity number W81XWH 20 HRRP FRA, is a Department of Defense research funding opportunity administered through the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). It falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category and is listed under CFDA 12.420. The mechanism supports awards made as either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning projects may be funded through a standard assistance award structure or through an arrangement that anticipates a more active federal role in coordinating or guiding aspects of the work, depending on the specific award terms.
This award is designed to back promising, focused research that can move the field toward practical hearing restoration solutions. The program emphasizes two main lanes: first, research that accelerates drug discovery and therapeutic development aimed at restoring hearing; and second, research that speeds progress in how auditory dysfunction is assessed, diagnosed, and treated. In other words, proposals can be oriented toward new or improved therapeutics (including the earlier discovery steps that lead to viable candidates) or toward clinical and translational advances that improve identification and management of hearing-related disorders, with the clear expectation that the work pushes toward real-world impact rather than remaining purely exploratory.
A core requirement is relevance to populations tied to the military mission and national interest. Proposed research must be pertinent to active duty Service members, Veterans, military beneficiaries, and/or the broader American public. This framing reflects the program's interest in addressing hearing problems that can arise from military service and related exposures, while also supporting advances that translate beyond military settings.
The opportunity strongly encourages multidisciplinary and cross-sector partnerships. Competitive applications are expected to benefit from collaboration among academia, industry, the military Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other federal agencies. The intent is to bring together complementary expertise, such as basic science, clinical knowledge, engineering or diagnostics development, regulatory and translational experience, and end-user perspectives, to shorten the path from research findings to deployable or clinically usable solutions.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to applicants of any organizational type, subject to any additional eligibility details that may be specified in the full announcement. The original funding opportunity was created on May 7, 2020, with an original closing date of November 3, 2020. The notice indicated an expected total of nine awards. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the source data, which typically signals that a fixed maximum was not captured in that field or is defined elsewhere in the full solicitation rather than meaning there is no practical budget limit.Apply for W81XWH 20 HRRP FRA
