Project Grant K24DC022682
- This $115,158 Project Grant, awarded on February 1, 2025 by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research into the neurological mechanisms underlying hearing loss. The central hypothesis is that the presentation of phosphatidylserine acts as a signal to mark inactive spiral ganglion neuron connections with outer hair cells for removal, facilitating...
- This federal Project Grant award of $662,162 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program. The award supports research by Oregon Health & Science University to investigate binaural spectral and temporal integration in individuals with hearing loss and hearing devices. The research aims to better understand abnormal binaural fusion and its association with...
- This $647,518 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program, supports research investigating the impact of cochlear synaptopathy on brainstem mechanisms of monaural temporal processing and binaural hearing. The study aims to understand the neural mechanisms and loci in the auditory system that produce listening difficulties, which can emerge...
- The University of Pittsburgh received a $610,725 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) effective May 2, 2025 with a completion date of April 30, 2030. The project will characterize the physiological mechanisms contributing to "suprathreshold deficits" in sensorineural hearing loss, where individuals struggle to understand...
- This federal Project Grant award of $296,536.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent system and its role in hearing in noise. The project aims to enhance understanding of the MOC system's input pathways, particularly from the inferior colliculus, and how...
- This federal Project Grant award of $102,324 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 investigate the role of macrophage/microglia dysfunction in age-related auditory nerve degeneration and hearing loss. The 2-year project, running from September 2025 to August 2027, will be conducted by the Medical University of South Carolina. The research...
- 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 $585,999.00 to the University of South Florida to conduct research on improving speech understanding for individuals with cochlear implants in the presence of background noise. The research aims to examine how spatial cues can support communication by exploring the interactions...
- This federal Project Grant award for $486,750.00 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program. The grant supports research to explore the morphological changes and cell polarity mechanisms in supporting cells of the inner ear, which play a critical role in auditory function. The primary awardee, the Jackson Laboratory, a nonprofit biomedical research...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173) program, is supporting research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying recovery of spatial hearing after unilateral hearing loss in mice. The $147,486 award, effective June 15, 2025 through December 15, 2027, will enable the principal investigator to conduct chronic...
- This $146,206 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research to understand the role of auditory cortex and subcortical regions in learning and retaining associations between sounds and behavioral outcomes in mice. The research aims to investigate how the auditory cortex may train subcortical regions like the medial...
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 $211,774.00 to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) to train the next generation of clinician-scientists to advance access to hearing health in rural and underserved communities. The principal investigator has developed a robust research infrastructure to comprehensively address hearing health access, including founding the UAMS Center for Hearing Health Access. The grant will fund strategies to enhance the PI's mentoring skills, such as engaging a mentorship advisory board, developing a network to connect mid-career mentors in rural states, and pursuing advanced training in implementation science. The overall goal is to uniquely train the next generation of researchers to improve access to hearing care, which is extremely limited in rural and underserved areas.
