NOT-AT-18-015: Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Promoting Research on Music and Health: Phased Innovation Award for Music Interventions (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Optional)

Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Promoting Research on Music and Health: Phased Innovation Award for Music Interventions (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health intends to publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit applications to develop music interventions aimed at understanding their mechanisms of action, and clinical application. Because of the need for a multidisciplinary approach, collaborations among basic researchers, translational science researchers, music intervention experts, other clinical researchers, music health professionals, and technology development researchers are encouraged.

The FOA will utilize the phased R61/R33 funding mechanism to support mechanistic research and to evaluate the clinical relevance of music interventions. The R61 phase will provide funding for up to two years to either investigate the biological mechanisms or behavioral processes underlying music interventions or can be used to develop innovative technology or approaches to further optimize an intervention to achieve a specified outcome. The second, R33, phase will provide up to three years of support for further mechanistic investigations, or intervention development, leading to pilot testing. Pilot testing would focus on intervention optimization/refinement, feasibility, adherence, and/or identification of appropriate outcome measures to inform future clinical research. Transition from the R61 to the R33 will depend on successful completion of milestones established for the R61.

This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.
