This $445,543 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award supports a project titled "LANGDIV: HNDS-R: TALKER-SPECIFIC, LANGUAGE-SPECIFIC, AND LANGUAGE-GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FIRST-LANGUAGE AND SECOND-LANGUAGE SPEECH" at Northwestern University. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) Develop a unique publicly available digital speech resource with...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of Illinois on February 15, 2022. The grant will support research to develop new evaluation and training paradigms for inclusive automatic speech recognition over a three-year period ending January 31, 2025. Specifically, the university will create open-source black-box and...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $318,850 will fund research at the University of California, Los Angeles from May 2022 to April 2025 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The research aims to improve speech technology and develop automated oral literacy assessments to better support learning outcomes for young African American English-speaking children. Specifically, the university researchers will develop data augmentation and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,242 Project Grant to The Washington University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will support research modeling the cognitive challenges of accented speech. The research team will conduct experiments measuring cognitive processing during listening to accented speech using methods from listening effort literature and behavioral economics. Eye-tracking will test if listeners...

The research aims to improve speech technology and develop automated oral literacy assessment tools for young speakers of African American English to enhance early education outcomes. Specifically, the university researchers will develop data augmentation and normalization...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $245,398 to support research estimating articulatory constriction place and timing from speech acoustics under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The award funds development of a speech inversion tool to recover details of articulatory movements from acoustic speech recordings using machine learning methods. Researchers will extend...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,299 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct research on the transfer of statistical learning from speech perception to production. The project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the brain coordinates listening and speaking, even when changes are subtle and not consciously identifiable. Preliminary data...
This Project Grant award of $377,764 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program supports research at Gettysburg College to develop a new AI model called POWSM (Phonetic Open Whisper-Style Speech Model) for universal speech-to-text across language varieties. The project aims to leverage systematic relationships and phonetic foundations to enable speech recognition for low-resource language variants, even when limited...
The University of Southern California will receive $1.2 million under a four-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research on structured variability in vocal tract articulation dynamics during speech. The grant is part of NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, which supports research and education in all areas of computing, communications, and information science and engineering. Through May 2027, USC researchers will use advanced magnetic...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $186,479 to Oregon State University to study multilingual speech recognition in the human brain. Researchers will record neural responses from monolingual, bilingual, and trilingual individuals as they listen to speech in languages they understand. They will use tools from computational neuroscience to develop cognitive theories and neural network models...
