The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded the University of Illinois at Chicago a Project Grant of $139,102 on July 10, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to support research on spoken morphology development in children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH). The grant funds a two-year research initiative (completion date: June 30, 2028) designed to identify factors that facilitate morphological learning in DHH children and to develop an optimized intervention based on Enhanced Conversational Recast (ECR), an evidence-based approach previously effective in hearing children with developmental language disorders. The project deliverables include empirical findings from artificial grammar learning studies (Aims 1-2) to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of morphology acquisition in DHH children, and results from a randomized controlled trial (Aim 3) comparing an augmented version of ECR with enhanced modifications tailored to DHH children's specific needs against a basic intervention approach. These research products address a significant public health gap by providing high-quality, evidence-based intervention strategies to remediate persistent morphological deficits (such as past tense and plural formation) that disproportionately affect DHH children and contribute to downstream language, literacy, social, and academic disadvantages.Federal Grant Award Summary
