SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is in accordance with the 21st
Century Cures Act, wherein NIH institutes are required to regularly
update their strategic plans. 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. To
accomplish these goals, the NIDCD manages a broad portfolio of both
basic, translational, and clinical research. The portfolio is organized
into three program areas: Hearing and balance; taste and smell; and
voice, speech, and language. The three program areas seek to answer
fundamental scientific questions about normal function and disorders
and to identify patient-oriented scientific discoveries for preventing,
screening, diagnosing, and treating disorders of human communication.
Responses to this request for comments are voluntary. Any personal
identifiers (e.g., names, addresses, email addresses, etc.) will be
removed when responses are compiled. Proprietary, classified,
confidential, or sensitive information should not be included in your
response. The Government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary
technical information in any resultant solicitation(s).
This request for comment is for information and planning purposes
only and should not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation
on the part of the Federal Government, or the NIH. The NIH does not
intend to award a grant or contract to pay for the preparation of any
information submitted or for the NIH's use of such information. No
basis for claims against the NIH shall arise as a result of a response
to this request for information or the NIH's use of such information as
part of the NIDCD Strategic Plan.
The NIDCD anticipates that the finalized plan will be published on
the NIDCD website in Fall 2022.
Dated: March 25, 2022.

Executive Officer, National Institute on Deafness and Other
Communication Disorders, National Institutes of Health.
