The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $111,313 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to the University of Colorado-Denver. The grant, titled "AGING IMPAIRS TEMPORAL FIDELITY IN THE AUDITORY BRAINSTEM AND UNDERLIES SPATIAL HEARING DEFICITS," supports scientific research investigating solutions to human communication disorders, with a focus on aging-related changes in auditory processing and...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.173), awarded a $417,741 project grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop computational models that replicate human auditory abilities. The goal is to improve prosthetic devices and therapeutic interventions for individuals with hearing impairment, cochlear implants, and auditory...
This federal Project Grant award of $154,568.00 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 award will fund research at the University of Southern California to investigate human cochlear masking and suppression using dynamic stimuli. The research aims to advance the understanding of hearing and communication disorders. The project is scheduled to be...
This $377,700 Project Grant award, funded by 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 develop and validate a clinical decision support tool (e.g. prediction model) for early risk stratification of cochlear implant (CI) speech perception performance. The research will integrate novel biomarkers, including electrocochleography and patient comorbidities, and...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.173), awarded a $662,162 Project Grant (R01DC022777) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The grant, with a period of performance from April 4, 2025 to March 31, 2030, aims to investigate binaural fusion and integration of spectral and temporal information in individuals with hearing loss, including those...
This $149,716 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders federal grant program (CFDA 93.173). The grant supports a research project at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden to characterize the morphological, molecular, and functional mechanisms of the cochlear aqueduct and how it changes over the lifespan. The key research activities include: Determining the size...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $2,433,859 supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline. The key objectives are to study the molecular, cellular, and connectivity changes in the central auditory system during normal aging and Alzheimer's disease, with the goal of developing targeted therapeutic strategies. The research integrates single-cell sequencing,...
