This federal Project Grant award of $610,725.00 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 grant will fund research at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate physiological mechanisms that contribute to suprathreshold deficits in speech understanding for individuals with sensorineural hearing loss. The key research activities include:...
This federal Project Grant award of $600,000.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (93.173), supports research on auditory-motor interactions in neural processing and the frequency-following response. The research aims to investigate how the human auditory system balances the competing functions of attenuating self-generated sounds while remaining vigilant...
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,...
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 research to examine how the human auditory cortex integrates speech information in the presence of background noise. The $303,136 award, effective from December 2, 2024 to December 31, 2027, will be conducted by the University of Rochester. The research aims to use scalp and...
The federal Project Grant award of $1,204,102 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 support research on brain structural and functional abnormalities in the executive function network of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). The 5-year project, starting on April 10, 2025, aims to use advanced multi-modal MRI methods to comprehensively map...
This federal Project Grant award for $146,206, awarded on December 15, 2024 by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), supports research on the "Cortical and Subcortical Dynamics in the Central Auditory System Across Learning and Overtraining". The project, which runs through August 15, 2027, aims to investigate how the auditory cortex interacts with subcortical regions like the medial geniculate body and inferior colliculus to support auditory...
This federal Project Grant award of $307,372 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under their "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" program (CFDA 93.173), supports research on auditory perceptual processing in the primate superior colliculus. The research aims to determine the neural mechanisms that underlie decision criteria for auditory perception in primates, focusing on both spatial and non-spatial auditory...
This federal Project Grant award of $601,672 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA program 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" will support research to better understand the relationship between aging, brain integrity, and chronic aphasia among stroke survivors. The key objectives of the 5-year research project are to: 1) examine the influence of cardiovascular risk factors and protective cognitive...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a Project Grant under the CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" program to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) in the amount of $1,018,155. The grant, with an award date of August 19, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027, will support a research project titled "Neocortical Microarchitecture of Executive Function Using Large-Scale...
This $147,486 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) will fund research at Carnegie Mellon University to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying spatial auditory attention in normal hearing listeners and bilateral cochlear implant users. The project aims to evaluate whether magnifying interaural level differences can improve spatial hearing for cochlear...
