This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $542,304 was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award supports research into the neural processes underlying young children's acquisition and retention of vocabulary, as well as the environmental factors that contribute to individual differences in vocabulary development. The research will leverage novel fMRI techniques and targeted memory reactivation during sleep to elucidate the hippocampal and cortical mechanisms involved in word learning and retention in toddlers aged 25-35 months. This work is expected to provide critical insights into typical and atypical language development, with potential implications for understanding and supporting communication and adaptive functioning in various pediatric populations. The award has an initial period of performance from September 1, 2024 through July 31, 2029 and will be conducted by the University of California, Davis.
