The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a 5-year, $211,119 Project Grant under the CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" program to San Diego State University Foundation. The project, titled "OIDOS PROTEGIDOS: PREVENTING NOISE EXPOSURE IN FARMWORKERS", aims to quantify noise exposures on farms, evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a multi-level intervention to reduce noise exposures among...
This $369,806 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders will fund research into objective screening tests for noise-induced hearing damage. The University of Wisconsin-Madison will investigate short- and long-term changes in cochlear, afferent, and efferent auditory system function due to noise exposure using otoacoustic emission-based assays of the middle ear muscle reflex and medial olivocochlear reflex....
This 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 $581,105 to Creighton University to develop natural-based therapies for treating hearing loss caused by aminoglycoside antibiotics. The key focus is on designing, synthesizing, and testing piperlongumine derivatives that can better target the TRPV1 channel to protect hair cells and synapses...
This 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), provides $131,555 to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) for a 2-year period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The project aims to investigate how noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) affects the central auditory processing of natural sound categories in the auditory cortex. Key...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $295,840 project grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to The House Institute Foundation in Los Angeles, California. The 3-year grant (Award ID: R21DC022555, 5/1/2025 - 4/30/2028) will fund research to examine the effects of background noise on real-time speech processing efficiency in school-age children with normal hearing and children using hearing aids. The study...
This federal Project Grant award of $610,725.00 was 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). The grant will fund research at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate physiological mechanisms that contribute to suprathreshold deficits in speech understanding for individuals with sensorineural hearing loss. The key research activities include:...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $262,001 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado-Denver. The grant, which runs from September 30, 2024 to April 30, 2026, will fund research to investigate the underlying causes of "hidden" age-related hearing loss, which affects sound...
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) will support research on the genetic causes of adult-onset hearing loss. The $676,533 award to the University of Pennsylvania aims to elucidate the role of the ZNF175/ZFP719 gene in pathogenic mechanisms leading to hearing loss, including investigating its effects on auditory synapses, ion...
This federal Project Grant award of $673,048 was 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). The objective is to investigate the role of mitochondrial calcium regulation in cochlear hair cells and its contribution to acquired hearing loss, with a focus on assessing the impact of acoustic overstimulation and developing strategies to mitigate noise-induced...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $299,866 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado-Denver, for their "Colorado Clinician Scientist Training Program." The goal of this 5-year program is to provide exceptional research training to carefully selected medical students and otolaryngology residents to prepare them for successful careers as independent...
