This federal Project Grant award of $1,339,013.47, 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), will support a study titled "EMERGE: Early Markers of Expressive and Receptive (Language) Growth in Ethnically Diverse Autistic Toddlers."

The primary awardee, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), will conduct research to understand the critical developmental window between 18-30 months where language outcomes diverge for young children with autism, particularly those from economically disadvantaged and historically marginalized backgrounds. The study aims to deeply phenotype 132 autistic toddlers using a range of concurrent social communication, language, sensory, motor, and neural measures collected in the home. This longitudinal data will help predict spoken language outcomes and optimize early interventions. UCLA will also provide animal per diem services to support medical research conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs under a separate contract.

Additionally, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) will serve as a sub-awardee, recruiting and assessing an equal number of children while contributing to data management, dissemination, and other project activities.
