This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA 93.173 Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program, will support research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying episodic memory and develop experimental approaches that use brain stimulation to directly test how the hippocampal network supports memory function. The $787,743 award, effective June 11, 2025 through May 31, 2028, will be...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), is focused on understanding the effectiveness of cochlear implants and hearing aids in real-world settings for older adults with age-related hearing loss (ARHL), both with and without mild cognitive impairment or dementia. The $1,495,307 award, which runs from September 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029, will collect real-world data via a smartphone ecological momentary assessment (EMA) system to...
This Project Grant award of $187,510 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), aims to investigate the mechanisms and clinical impact of neo-ossification (new bone formation) following cochlear implantation. The key objectives are to: 1) leverage advanced imaging techniques to assess in-vivo cochlear neo-ossification in human and mouse cochlear implant recipients, 2)...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), provides $251,856 to New York University from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The funding supports research investigating the neuroplastic processes underlying early adaptation to cochlear implants, which restore hearing and speech perception in individuals with severe or profound...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), provides $674,021 to advance the development of an implantable middle-ear microphone system. The award aims to refine and test a prototype microphone, called the UMIC, that can be used in totally-implantable cochlear implants to take advantage of outer-ear acoustic benefits. Key objectives...
This Project Grant award, valued at $377,700.00, was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The goal of the research is to develop and validate a reliable clinical decision support tool for early risk stratification of cochlear implant (CI) speech perception performance. The project aims to integrate novel biomarkers, patient comorbidities, and social...
