Collaboration Opportunity – US National Institutes of Health & National Endowment for the Arts – Promoting Research on Music and Health: Fundamentals and Applications (R21 Clinical Trials Optional) – RFA-NS-19-009
Sponsor: US National Institutes of Health & National Endowment for the Arts 		Closing Date: 28-Feb-2019
This FOA is intended to encourage exploratory studies to: (1) increase our understanding of how music affects the brain, body, and behavior and (2) use that knowledge to develop evidence-based music interventions to enhance health or treat specific diseases and disorders. Proposed R21 projects can investigate how music is processed by or modifies the brain, or how it affects specific biological functions during childhood development and learning, adulthood, and aging. Projects can also include preliminary interventions that provide a basis for therapeutic interventions. When appropriate, collaborations among basic researchers, technology developers, music intervention experts, or other clinical researchers are highly encouraged.

Eligibility

Funding
• The R21 award may not exceed USD $275,000 in cumulative total costs or more than USD $150,000 for either of the two years.
