The University of California, Irvine will lead collaborative efforts with institutions in Finland to address fundamental physical layer challenges through four interconnected research thrusts. Specifically, the award will fund...

This $749,685 National Science Foundation project grant under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) will fund the development of an Automated, Integrated, Multimodal Software (AIMS) system to improve inclusive access to information for persons with disabilities. Saint Louis University leads a consortium that includes software companies Vital, Unar Labs, and Viewplus Technologies to build a unified framework for authoring, converting, and delivering accessible content...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $174,176 to DePaul University to conduct research on making online videos more accessible to individuals who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, or have low vision. The key objectives of this 2-year research project are to: 1) create a taxonomy of common audiovisual video components that need to be adapted for accessibility, 2) conduct interviews...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) provides $300,000 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to conduct research on adapting foundation models for multimodal sequential decision-making. The project aims to develop novel techniques and methods to leverage foundation models, which are complex neural networks trained on large datasets, to improve the performance of...

This federal Project Grant award is funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of language control mechanisms across comprehension and production in diverse bilingual populations, including both unimodal (using the same perceptual and motoric systems for both languages) and bimodal (using...

This $2,308,368 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) supports research to investigate the relationship between visual attention, multimodal communication cues, and expressive language development in typically developing children and those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research, led by Vanderbilt University Medical Center, will leverage existing datasets and conduct new...

This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) aims to develop and use probes to measure communicative feedback in racially and ethnically diverse autistic adolescents who are minimally verbal or have language impairment. The total funding amount is $514,152, awarded from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The project will use a participatory approach, including a web-based modified Delphi study with 24...

This federal Project Grant award of $265,410 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) supports research to characterize how heterogeneous regional expression of mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) channel components contributes to vestibular hair cell function and development, and whether early MET expression defines a critical period for gene replacement therapy....
