This Project Grant award in the amount of $437,479 was provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The grant will be used by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to leverage a large, longitudinal dataset of 1,667 toddlers, including 552 late talkers, to identify early predictors of divergent language and clinical outcomes at preschool age. The key objectives are to: 1) Analyze 9 common predictors...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $489,500 to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to conduct research on identifying early neurobiological markers and developmental factors that impact language acquisition in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research aims to (1) characterize resting state EEG differences...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The $1,339,013.47 grant, awarded on August 23, 2024, will fund the "EMERGE: Early Markers of Expressive and Receptive (Language) Growth in Ethnically Diverse Autistic Toddlers" research project. The goal of this study is to understand the measures...
This Project Grant award of $201,250 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA Program 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" supports research to examine precursors to language impairment in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The project aims to leverage recent advances in remote assessment of infant cognitive development to test three proposed mechanisms underlying language impairment in ASD: atypical speech...
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 of $263,750 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" program supports research to 1) establish a visual mismatch response (VMMR) paradigm in American Sign Language (ASL) using magnetoencephalography (MEG), and 2) examine the effect of early language experience on pre-attentive perceptual processing for ASL. The project aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, will support research to better understand how infants learn language by studying their interactions with caregivers. The $213,467 award, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, will fund two related studies. The first study will observe parents and infants playing together while recording the infants' eye movements to determine when speech is...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $550,000 supports research to evaluate computational models of infant language acquisition against experimental data on English- and Spanish-learning infants. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will enable researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles to directly compare the output of different computational word segmentation models to infant behavioral data on the acquisition of...
This $167,626 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant will support research by the non-profit organization Father Flanagan's Boys' Home to examine the impact of intergenerational adversity exposure on parent-child linguistic interactions and child language outcomes. Leveraging an existing longitudinal dataset of 325 preschoolers...
This Project Grant award of $147,486 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" program supports formative research to develop culturally responsive caregiver-implemented early language interventions for families in Puerto Rico. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the use of naturalistic language facilitation strategies by caregivers and factors influencing...

This Project Grant award of $2,361,470 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will support research to identify early auditory and behavioral markers that can predict language development outcomes in infants. The University of Washington will conduct a longitudinal study, following infants at both low and high risk of late language emergence, and measuring their auditory brain responses, auditory and language abilities, and other developmental factors from 3 to 30 months of age. The goal is to determine whether early neurological and behavioral measures can serve as prognostic indicators of later language skills, which could allow for earlier identification and intervention for infants at risk of language delays. The project aims to advance understanding of optimal measures for differentiating developmental trajectories and reveal potential biomarkers of language delay evident in the first year of life. This research has the potential to improve early identification and intervention for infants at higher risk of late language emergence.
