Project Grant R01DC023216
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of South Carolina $146,004 on March 16, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to support a transitional research career award (K99/R00) investigating repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the anterior temporal lobe for post-stroke aphasia recovery. The award funds a three-arm randomized clinical trial enrolling 60 individuals...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded $704,116 to Trustees of Boston University on September 1, 2026, for a project grant investigating functional reorganization and recovery of language and domain-general brain networks in aphasia under CFDA 93.173 (Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders). The research evaluates how core linguistic brain networks and the multiple demand (MD) network—a domain-general cognitive system—contribute to language...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Duke University $547,650 on July 2, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to develop a predictive model of discourse production in right hemisphere stroke survivors with language use impairments. The research characterizes discourse-level language use in right hemisphere stroke (RHD) survivors using RHDBank, an internationally shared multimedia database, and...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), a component of the National Institutes of Health, awarded the University of Pittsburgh $223,316 on December 15, 2025, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate the neurobiology of language re-learning in post-stroke aphasia treatment. The project examines how sleep-related memory consolidation influences neural and behavioral response to aphasia treatment....
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $429,000 Project Grant under the "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173) federal grant program to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. The grant aims to enhance language recovery and quality of life for stroke survivors with aphasia by combining a linguistically-motivated therapy called Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) with excitatory theta burst stimulation (TBS), a...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded The Medical University of South Carolina $666,519 on August 15, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to conduct a pragmatic clinical trial evaluating motor speech interventions for hypokinetic dysarthria in individuals with Parkinson's disease across real-world clinical practice...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded New York University School of Medicine $685,327 on July 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate cortical mechanisms of speech planning in Parkinson's disease and non-PD participants. The research brings together neurosurgeons and systems neuroscientists to examine neural dynamics relevant for speech planning using electrocorticography and...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of Pittsburgh $663,904 on March 13, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to evaluate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) adapted for aphasia in improving mental health and functional communication outcomes in stroke survivors with aphasia. The project develops and tests an integrated intervention that pairs ACT—a counseling...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Northwestern University $690,331 on August 25, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to develop personalized brain-computer interfaces for decoding language in people with nonfluent aphasia. The research addresses a critical gap in BCI technology. Nearly all existing speech BCIs decode signals from the frontal lobe, which is typically damaged in nonfluent...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania $685,048 on February 6, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to characterize how brain networks reorganize after stroke-induced aphasia and how transcranial magnetic stimulation influences that reorganization. The project, titled "Characterizing the Organization of Networks with Neuromodulation to Enhance...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of South Carolina $512,640 on August 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate the cortical organization of syntax and its relationship to grammatical deficits in post-stroke aphasia. The research addresses syntactic deficits—impairments in the ability to combine words into phrases and sentences—which emerge as persistent and severe deficits in aphasia recovery, particularly in sentence comprehension. The project will identify lesion correlates of receptive syntax in chronic post-stroke aphasia using grammaticality judgments and lesion mapping (Specific Aim 1), and identify lesion correlates and behavioral profiles of agrammatic and paragrammatic speech production using a novel elicitation task and objective coding scheme (Specific Aim 2). The work is designed to test a theoretical model of cortical syntax organization that accounts for distinct patterns of syntactic deficits and recovery across different brain damage patterns and addresses limited research attention to paragrammatism in fluent aphasia. Performance runs through June 30, 2031, at Columbia, South Carolina. This is a Project Grant, the predominant assistance type supporting biomedical research through NIH.
