The total grant funding is $760,283 and the award period is from December 1, 2024...
This $601,672 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), will support research to better understand the relationship between aging and aphasia severity in stroke survivors. The key objectives are to: 1) examine how cardiovascular risk factors and protective cognitive factors influence premature brain aging and aphasia severity; 2)...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $147,486, was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The project aims to investigate the role of sleep-related memory consolidation in influencing behavioral and neural response to intensive aphasia treatment in stroke survivors. Specifically, the research will explore how sleep quality...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $196,460 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to the University of Pittsburgh. This grant will fund research to better understand the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying semantic feature generation, a key component of word production treatments for aphasia, a communication disorder affecting over 2 million Americans. The research aims to...
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), will provide $146,816 to the University of Texas at Austin 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 require language...
The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. (MCW) received a $429,000 Project Grant award under the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders' (NIDCD) Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The award, with a period of performance from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2027, will support research to enhance language recovery and quality of life for stroke survivors with aphasia (SWA). The key products or services to be delivered include: 1)...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $702,315 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173) to the University of California, Berkeley to evaluate the effects of high-intensity physical exercise training as a therapy to improve language, cognition, motor skills, and emotional well-being in individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The project will recruit 110 participants to compare the multi-faceted impacts of the high-intensity exercise intervention against a...
