Tinnitus Research Advocates Participate in Peer Review of DoD Grants
Tinnitus research advocates Scott C. Mitchell, J.D. and James O. Chinnis Jr., Ph.D. recently participated in the consumer review of tinnitus research proposals submitted under the Department of Defense's Peer Review Medical Research Program. Thanks to advocacy efforts by the American Tinnitus Association, tinnitus research proposals have been eligible for funding under this program for the past two years.

SCIENTIFIC PEER REVIEW OF RESEARCH APPLICATIONS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Tinnitus research advocates, Scott C. Mitchell, J.D. and James O. Chinnis Jr. Ph.D., recently participated in the 
evaluation of research proposals submitted to the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) sponsored by the Department of Defense. Mitchell and Chinnis were nominated for participation in the peer review process by the American Tinnitus Association (ATA) in Portland, Oregon. As a consumer reviewer, they were full voting members of the scientific peer review panel, along with prominent scientists and clinicians. The Fiscal Year 2009 (FY09) PRMRP received a $50 million congressional appropriation to fund research across 19 topic areas including tinnitus. This is the 
second consecutive year that tinnitus research proposals have been eligible for funding under this program.
Consumer reviewers are asked to represent the collective view of their community including survivors and patients, family members, and persons at risk for the disease. Specifically, they are asked to score and comment on the potential impact of the proposed study on issues such as disease prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life after treatment. Mitchell and Chinnis joined a group of 65 consumer advocates who participated in the scientific peer review of applications submitted to the FY09 PRMRP and participated in the review of each research application on the panel. Commenting on his role as a consumer reviewer, Chinnis said that, "This program has resulted in a number of proposals that would have been impossible to conduct even just a few years ago. The quality and focus of several proposals were well above that of even the most insightful past proposals, helping to put tinnitus research into the front ranks of medical research." Mitchell, who served his second term as a consumer reviewer added, The proposals covered the spectrum of open questions regarding tinnitus, which emphasized that tinnitus treatment can be approached from many different angles - some day soon perhaps we will be able to customize tinnitus therapy to the individual patient."
Consumer advocates and scientists have worked together in this unique partnership to evaluate the scientific merit of research proposals submitted to the various programs managed through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) since 1995. Captain E. Melissa Kaime, M.D., Director of the CDMRP, expressed her appreciation for the consumer advocates perspective in the scientific peer review sessions. The Consumer Reviewers on each panel helped the scientists understand the patients perspective and provided valuable insight into the potential impact of the proposed project. Likewise, these important members of the peer review panels have been enriched by learning more about the scientific process through discussing proposals with the other peer review panel members and seeing the future possibilities of successful research outcomes.
The FY09 PRMRP challenged the scientific and clinical communities to address one of the FY09 congressionally-directed topic areas with original ideas that foster new directions in basic science and translational research; novel product development leading to improved therapeutic or diagnostic tools, or improvements in clinical policies/guidelines; or clinical trials that address an immediate clinical need. This program sought applications in laboratory, clinical, behavioral, and epidemiologic research as well as public health and policy; environmental sciences; nursing; occupational health; alternative therapies; ethics; <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language:EN-US;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; color:blue; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> economics; and strategic research, such as studies designed to shape the development of or to validate clinical policy or guidance.

Dec 1, 2010 at 7:25 PM Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass favor.
