- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $249,000.00, 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 grant supports the development of a CRISPR-based toolkit to investigate the roles of various transcription factors in the development of hair cells, the specialized sensory cells of the inner ear, using an in vitro inner ear organoid model. The project aims...
- This 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 $767,494 to the University of Miami to develop human inner ear organoid platforms for studying genetic hearing loss and vestibular disorders. The key objectives are to: 1) establish and optimize human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived 3D inner ear organoid systems from patients with...
- This federal Project Grant award for $438,244 from 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 to investigate the role of the blood-labyrinthine barrier (BLB) in inner ear homeostasis and disease. The key objectives are to use human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology to model BLB-specific microvascular interactions and explore novel...
- This Project Grant award of $486,750.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program, will support research on the morphological changes and polarization of supporting cells in the inner ear of mice. The primary awardee, The Jackson Laboratory, will conduct this research project to investigate how mouse pillar and Deiter's cells, which are specific types of supporting...
- This $582,552 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) aims to understand the role of the protein otoferlin in auditory circuit development and how gene therapy can restore hearing in patients with congenital deafness caused by otoferlin variants. The project will investigate spontaneous neural activity patterns, auditory cortex...
- This 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), aims to establish a comprehensive molecular and physiological biorepository of the human inner ear. The $445,956 award to Vanderbilt University Medical Center will support the collection of inner ear tissues, including the cochlea and vestibular apparatus, as well as non-invasive physiological...
- This $104,512 federal Project Grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) aims to mitigate vocal fold scarring through CRISPR/Cas-9-mediated gene editing of fibroblasts. The research proposal seeks to identify gene targets that could prevent the differentiation of vocal fold fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, thereby reducing excessive fibrous protein production and cell proliferation...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded the University of Southern California (USC) a $456,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173) to develop a novel diagnostic test for sensory hearing loss. The "Gain-Sensitive Cochlear Microphonics" (GCM) test aims to assess the functional state and site of damage within the cochlear amplifier, which is crucial for hearing sensitivity and range. The proposed research will validate the GCM test in mice by comparing...
- The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $1,319,060 Project Grant to Duke University under the Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) program. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research to study the robust formation of organs, with a focus on the development of the semicircular canals in the inner ear of zebrafish. The research aims to measure variations in tissue patterns, investigate the respective...
- This federal Project Grant award of $652,216.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) supports research on epigenetic mechanisms involved in cochlear damage and repair. The principal investigator at Rutgers, The State University in New Jersey will investigate how the CHD4 chromatin-remodeling protein maintains hair cell identity in the cochlea. The project aims...
