Project Grant R01DC023753
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Michigan State University $1,295,404 under Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) on September 9, 2025. This project grant (R01DC021946) funds a multifactorial, longitudinal investigation of risk and protective factors underlying the development of stuttering's adverse impact on children, with performance in East Lansing, Michigan, through August 31, 2030. The research employs a...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Northeastern University $197,000 on May 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate clinical phenotypes of feedback and feedforward control in adults who stutter. The research tests two hypotheses: that distinct stuttering behaviors are associated with behavioral and neural correlates of feedback and feedforward control (Aim 1), and that distinct...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Purdue University $210,050 on August 4, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to develop and validate a novel device that reduces stuttering through machine learning–controlled altered auditory feedback modulated by the user's real-time brain activity. The research combines experimental and engineering work to establish the foundation for a device that delivers...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $132,695 to the University of Maryland, College Park on July 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to develop artificial intelligence methods for delivering vocal tract gesture biofeedback in speech sound disorder therapy for children. The work spans two phases through June...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the Regents of the University of Minnesota $596,678 on March 13, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate spectro-temporal interactions in auditory perception across the lifespan. The research examines mechanisms limiting speech and auditory perception in challenging acoustic conditions among adults with sensorineural hearing loss, cochlear implant...
- 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 awarded the University of Wisconsin–Madison $305,152 on September 30, 2025, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate the neurocomputational mechanisms underlying speech sensorimotor adaptation. The funded research will test whether adaptation in speech involves two distinct learning processes—a fast process that learns quickly from error but retains less, and a slow...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Rochester Institute of Technology $145,613 under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) on September 1, 2026. RIT will develop computational algorithms and a digital twin system to optimize phonosurgery outcomes by creating participant-specific models of vocal physiology and anatomy. The project integrates physics-informed deep learning, bi-fidelity computer modeling, and...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Vanderbilt University Medical Center $232,750 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to evaluate genetic risk for rhythm impairment as a predictor of language development across the lifespan. The recipient will conduct retrospective, longitudinal, and targeted follow-up studies using interdisciplinary methodologies from communication sciences and...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded Purdue University $504,483 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to characterize developmental trajectories that predict persistence or recovery from speech sound disorder in children. The project recruits a large cohort of children with diverse speech abilities at age four and follows them annually through age seven to identify predictive...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $648,923 on July 20, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to develop and test a digital rhythm-based intervention game for children who stutter. The project, identified as R01DC023753, addresses stuttering treatment limitations by leveraging neuroscientific understanding of basal ganglia thalamocortical network dysfunction and its role in beat-based timing for speech fluency. The intervention delivers intensive rhythm training through a digital game designed to increase reliance on beat-based timing mechanisms, with the hypothesis that improved rhythm processing performance will strengthen connections in the beat-based timing network and facilitate motor control for fluent speech production. Performance occurs at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a period of performance extending from July 20, 2026, through June 30, 2031.
