Project Grant R13DC003383

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), through the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders federal grant program (CFDA 93.173), awarded a $650,820 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study the organization and development of motor cortical circuits for speech production in individuals with stuttering. The 5-year research project, commencing on April 1, 2025, aims to provide a mechanistic, functional neuroanatomical...

This Project Grant award, valued at $696,836, was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The purpose of the award is to investigate the neural basis of sensorimotor control of speech in individuals with 16p11.2 deletion syndrome, a common genetic cause of autism. The research will examine speech abilities, sensorimotor control of speech, and...

This $160,000 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 by Northwestern University to investigate the mechanistic underpinnings of pragmatic language impairments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and FMR1 mutation conditions. The research aims to characterize the motor-speech skills contributing to pragmatic...

This Cooperative Agreement award of $299,430.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal grant program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173), aims to build scientific capacity to accelerate the uptake of Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) research across NIDCD's mission areas, including hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language. The "Dissemination and...

This $647,518 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program, supports research investigating the impact of cochlear synaptopathy on brainstem mechanisms of monaural temporal processing and binaural hearing. The study aims to understand the neural mechanisms and loci in the auditory system that produce listening difficulties, which can emerge...

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $715,574 Project Grant on September 1, 2025 to Trustees of Boston University to investigate the roles of the basal ganglia and cerebellar circuits in speech motor sequence learning and execution. The 5-year project aims to leverage deep brain stimulation (DBS) technology in DBS implant recipients to better understand how these subcortical circuits contribute to speech production. The research will focus on two...

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 National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $402,500 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) federal grant program to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York. This 3-year project, with a start date of January 6, 2025, aims to systematically investigate the relationship between speech perception/learning and speech production in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The...

This $681,385 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), supports research to develop and test a computational model that can quantitatively characterize the speech motor skills of individual speakers. The project involves a tight coupling of computational modeling with behavioral, neurostimulation, and neuroimaging experiments on three...

This $778,740 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research to establish normative data on auditory-perceptual features of motor speech development in preschool-aged children. The goal is to create a clinically feasible assessment protocol to facilitate early and accurate differential diagnosis of childhood apraxia of speech and...
