Project Grant R01DC022043
- This Project Grant award of $185,000.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports the development of a semantic-based auditory attention decoder using a large language model. The goal is to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio and prevent cognitive overload for individuals with hearing loss, who often struggle to understand speech in noisy environments. The project seeks to leverage...
- 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 $726,359.00 in funding over a 5-year period from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2030. The project aims to evaluate the influence of speech produced under more natural conditions, such as by talkers with unfamiliar accents, conversational styles, and young children, on children's speech...
- This Project Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders totaling $127,244.81 was awarded on March 10, 2021 to Father Flanagan's Boys' Home to fund research related to prediction processes in children with developmental language disorder. The award supports research aligned with the objectives of the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to...
- This $115,158 Project Grant, awarded on February 1, 2025 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), supports research into the neurological mechanisms underlying hearing loss. The central hypothesis is that the presentation of phosphatidylserine acts as a signal to mark inactive spiral ganglion neuron connections with outer hair cells for removal, facilitating...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded the University of Southern California (USC) a $456,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173) to develop a novel diagnostic test for sensory hearing loss. The "Gain-Sensitive Cochlear Microphonics" (GCM) test aims to assess the functional state and site of damage within the cochlear amplifier, which is crucial for hearing sensitivity and range. The proposed research will validate the GCM test in mice by comparing...
- The University of Pittsburgh received a $610,725 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) effective May 2, 2025 with a completion date of April 30, 2030. The project will characterize the physiological mechanisms contributing to "suprathreshold deficits" in sensorineural hearing loss, where individuals struggle to understand...
- This federal Project Grant award of $131,408 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports research on the impact of noise-induced hearing loss on neural representations and processing in the auditory cortex and amygdala. The primary awardee, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, will leverage advanced imaging and recording techniques to investigate how hearing loss leads to maladaptive...
- This $448,525 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will fund a mixed-methods study by Father Flanagan's Boys' Home to examine caregivers' and pediatricians' decision-making processes related to late talking in children. The project aims to address key barriers in this domain, including understanding the information needs of caregivers and pediatricians, and how social determinants of health impact knowledge...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", awarded a $193,750.00 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028, will fund research to investigate the neural dynamics and underlying mechanisms in the auditory cortex during implicit learning of complex sounds. The research aims to map the neural circuits...
- This federal Project Grant award, 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), supports research on brain structural and functional abnormalities in the executive function network of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). The $1,204,102 award to Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, a non-profit research organization in Nebraska, will fund a study to...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), through its Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), awarded a $350,000 Project Grant to Father Flanagan's Boys' Home to study the "Neural Dynamics Underlying Sensory Processing in Children with Mild-to-Severe Hearing Loss." The 5-year project, commencing on August 1, 2025, aims to investigate the impact of mild-to-severe hearing loss on the neural dynamics underlying sensory processing in children, and how these factors relate to cognitive and language development. The research will utilize a multimodal imaging approach, combining magnetoencephalography, structural MRI, and comprehensive neuropsychological and audiometric testing. The findings may help identify therapeutic targets to optimize outcomes for children with hearing loss.
