This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to examine the recruitment and connectivity of executive function skills in relation to reading and math abilities in 7-8 year old children. The $128,250 award, effective September 17, 2024 through August 31, 2026, will support behavioral and neuroimaging research at Vanderbilt University to...
This federal Project Grant award from 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) will fund research to understand how language experience shapes the development of the brain's language network. The $149,804 award, granted on Apr 1, 2025, will support a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct functional neuroimaging...
This federal Project Grant award of $673,581.00, awarded on April 17, 2025 by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research by New York University (NYU) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying statistical learning, a fundamental cognitive process. The research aims to build a mechanistic neurobiological circuit theory of statistical...
This federal Project Grant award of $662,034 was provided 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 award will fund a research project led by The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to conduct a large-scale, longitudinal study on the mechanisms underlying developmental dyslexia. The project aims to characterize the role of visual...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, will support research to better understand how infants learn language by studying their interactions with caregivers. The $213,467 award, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, will fund two related studies. The first study will observe parents and infants playing together while recording the infants' eye movements to determine when speech is...
This $1,368,776 Project Grant award from 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) will fund two randomized controlled trials to optimize early phonological awareness instruction for supporting reading and spelling acquisition in children. The key products and services to be delivered include: Evaluating the relative impacts on phonemic awareness, reading,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research - provides $621,032 to Trustees of Boston University to conduct a longitudinal study examining the development of white matter pathways and their relationship to reading development in bilingual children. The study aims to disentangle how bilingualism and reading abilities interact to shape brain structure over time, and...
This Project Grant award, identified as F32HD115302, was provided 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).
