This $144,328 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 fund two key research objectives at Emory University: A randomized controlled trial to test an intervention aimed at increasing participation in ototoxicity monitoring for head and neck cancer patients, particularly those living far from the research center or with advanced disease. The...
This 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 provide a comprehensive understanding of the brain mechanisms underlying Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and their relationship to language and cognitive impairments in children. The $1,204,102 award will support a study using advanced multi-modal MRI methods to examine brain...
This federal Project Grant award of $589,930, 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), aims to investigate sex and gender differences in language impairment, disability, and service receipt. The primary goal is to determine why girls are less likely to receive language services than boys, which aligns with NIH's interest in diversity and the NIDCD's focus on...

The study aims to measure self-report, behavioral, and...
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), aims to investigate methods for differentiating the physiological sources of voice modulation in speakers with vocal tremor (VT). The $238,500 award to the University of Texas at Austin will fund a 2-year study to determine if simultaneously recorded neck-skin vibration sensor and head-mounted...
This federal Project Grant award of $477,660 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports research to investigate age-related brain differences that affect speech recognition in older adults. The primary objectives are to characterize how quickly older adults accumulate sensory evidence and how much evidence they require to make speech recognition decisions, and to link these perceptual...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $196,109 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) federal grant program to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc.
