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...
This federal Project Grant award of $781,703, awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", supports research to better understand sensory development in human cochlear organoids. The goals are to define the developmental trajectories of key sensory cell types, test methods to increase the number of hair cells, and accelerate the maturation of hair cells and sensory...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" provides $637,500.00 to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary to conduct research on understanding human cochlear micromechanics. The goal is to study the forward transduction that drives inner and outer hair cell stereocilia, as well as the reverse transduction that amplifies organ of Corti motion...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), awarded a $589,393 Project Grant to Northwestern University to support research on the development of cochlear innervation. The goal is to elucidate how the neural circuit in the mammalian cochlea assembles during development, by altering the identity of certain cell types involved. Through this project, the researchers will...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA 93.173 Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program, provides $296,536 to Purdue University to investigate the physiological roles of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent pathways and their impact on hearing in noise. The research aims to enhance understanding of the MOC system's input pathways, especially from the inferior colliculus, and how...
This Project Grant award of $2,119,610 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 elucidate the molecular mechanisms regulating the development and function of hair cells in the cochlea. Specifically, the project aims to study the roles of the clarin-1 (CLRN1) and clarin-2 (CLRN2) genes, which have been linked to hearing loss, and their interactions...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $415,743 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The 5-year grant, effective February 1, 2025, will support research to investigate the role of macrophages in the development, homeostasis, and repair of the tympanic membrane (eardrum). The project aims to characterize the origin and function of...
