This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA Program 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders, will fund research to investigate sensorimotor mechanisms underlying speech fluency in individuals who stutter. The $464,268 award, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will be provided to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct neuroimaging studies using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to examine indicators of speech sensorimotor function in adults who stutter compared to those who do not. The goal is to lay the groundwork for developing novel stuttering interventions that leverage pharmacological regulation of dopamine in combination with existing behavioral treatments and emerging neuromodulation approaches.
