Notice to the Extramural Community The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) Work Group on Single and Multiple Project Grants (WGSMPG) was convened under the leadership of Dr. Donald H. Luecke, Deputy Director, NIDCD. Drs. Bronya Keats and Thomas Hixon served as co-chairs. This Work Group was formed to advise the National Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NDCD) Advisory Council about the strengths/weaknesses of single project grants in contrast to multiple project awards. The WGSMPG held two teleconferences during the summer of 1998, met for two days in August, and developed a draft report for consideration during the October 7th meeting of the NDCD Advisory Council. Based on discussion among Council members, several additional clarifying comments were incorporated and the WGSMPG report was finalized on October 27, 1998. As the final phase in this process the recommendations of the WGSMPG are being displayed to solicit comments from the extramural community. All comments should be received by December 18, 1998, and will serve as guidance to the Director, NIDCD, in this highly important matter.
