Continuously funded since 1997, NCRAR is one of thirteen national Centers funded by the VA Rehabilitation Research and Development Service, but the only such Center dedicated to the discovery and delivery of cutting-edge solutions to auditory system impairments
and balance dysfunction. NCRAR rehabilitation researchers effectively leverage the Center’s substantial infrastructure of shared equipment and facilities resources, biostatistics, engineering and research administration support services to compete for investigator-initiated,
peer-reviewed research funding. NCRAR carries out clinical trials, develops technologies, and plays an important role in cultivating the next generation of auditory researchers through education and mentoring programs. The Center is closely allied with the
Oregon Health & Science University Departments of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery, Bioengineering, Neurology, and Psychiatry.
