Project Grant R01DC017475

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" program supports research on the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying semantic feature generation in individuals with aphasia. The $196,460 award to the University of Pittsburgh will fund a 3-year study to: 1) identify the semantic model (taxonomic, distributional, or experiential) that best...

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. a $429,000 Project Grant under the NIDCD Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant will fund research to enhance the effectiveness of a linguistically-motivated therapy called Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) in improving language recovery and quality of life for stroke survivors with aphasia. The project aims to determine if...

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $146,816 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant supports a 3-year research project to assess semantic encoding and decoding models in stroke-induced aphasia. The project aims to 1) adapt existing semantic decoding approaches for people with aphasia, 2) develop semantic decoding approaches that do not...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (93.173), will fund a clinical trial to investigate the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and attention-focused language treatment to improve attention, language, and reduce post-stroke fatigue in individuals with aphasia. The total award amount is $760,283, with a project period...

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $2,731,341 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant, awarded on August 7, 2024, will fund a study examining the effects of continuous theta burst stimulation (a type of transcranial magnetic stimulation) combined with a modified...

This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will support the development and testing of a transitional care intervention to improve communication and quality of life outcomes for individuals with aphasia, a chronic language impairment. The $100,000 award to The Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Corporation, a non-profit hospital and academic medical center in Massachusetts, will fund a 5-year project to (1)...

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 $457,935 to study the effects of combining continuous theta burst stimulation (a type of transcranial magnetic stimulation) with a modified form of constraint-induced language therapy to treat mild post-stroke aphasia. The primary recipient, The Trustees of the University of...

This $428,883 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) aims to examine the effects of individualized transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on phonological short-term memory performance in chronic stroke survivors with aphasia. The key objectives are to identify optimal tACS targets, frequency, and electric field coverage based on...

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), is funding a study to evaluate the effects of high-intensity physical exercise training on language and cognitive recovery in individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The $702,315 award, effective May 15, 2025 through April 30, 2030, will support the recruitment of 110 aphasia patients to compare...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173, "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", provides $108,512 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research on brain network-based language system neuromodulation for aphasia. The award supports two key aims: 1) studying how brain network controllability influences healthy language production and how neuromodulation...
