The principal investigator at Northeastern University will enroll 90 individuals aged 6-35 years who have fewer than 50 spoken words, using a smartphone app to record their...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $466,746 and funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), seeks to develop a complexity model of aphasia. The goal is to better understand the widespread impact of aphasia, a language disorder, on a person's life - from impairment to participation. The project involves leveraging a large existing dataset of persons with...

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), awarded a $100,000 Project Grant to The Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Corporation to develop and test a transitional care intervention to improve communication and quality of life outcomes for people with aphasia. The key objectives of this 5-year grant are to: (1) evaluate current practices, needs, and barriers/facilitators in transitional care for aphasia...
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 develop and use probes to measure communicative feedback in racially and ethnically diverse autistic adolescents who are minimally verbal or have language impairment (MV-ASD and ALI). The $314,152 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, aims to quantify communicative...
This $430,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) federal grant program, aims to validate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques applied to video and speech data for objectively evaluating social interaction and mental health in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The project will be carried out by Emory University, a...
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), supports a $207,036 research project to investigate speech entrainment in autistic adolescents and their conversation partners. The project aims to develop a quantifiable measure of conversational success that can be used to optimize treatment outcomes for autistic adolescents. Specifically, the...

The objective of this 5-year project is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and implementation outcomes of different parent-implemented naturalistic communication intervention (PI-NCI) modalities for improving parent responsivity and child communication and language...
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) is providing $457,935 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to study the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with a modified form of constraint-induced language therapy (MCILT) on improving language function in 24 individuals with chronic, mild post-stroke aphasia....
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), will investigate the neural mechanisms and antecedent factors underlying listening difficulty in school-age children born prematurely. The project aims to: 1) evaluate neural mechanisms of listening difficulty in preterm children, and 2) determine clinical antecedents of listening difficulty and...

The Miami University was awarded an $861,208 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to develop a psychometrically sound measure of adolescent social communication abilities tailored to transition intervention planning. The goal is to refine the Transition Pragmatics Interview (TPI) by designing items to vary in difficulty based on an empirically validated interpretive framework, the Situational-Discourse-Semantics model. Participants will be evaluated using four TPI subscales focused on post-secondary education, employment, independent living, and community participation contexts. Rasch analyses will determine participant abilities for each context on an equivalent scale and evaluate the dimensionality of the context-focused subscales. Once completed, the refined TPI will allow researchers to identify adolescents' social communication skill levels for transitioning to post-school environments, enabling more effective intervention planning under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173).
