The Federal Grant Award R01DC021141 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 $549,288 project grant, awarded on August 10, 2024 with a completion date of May 31, 2029, supports scientific research at the University of Rochester to investigate the circuit between the ventral CA1 region of the hippocampus and the main olfactory bulb. The research aims...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $2,433,859 supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline. The key objectives are to study the molecular, cellular, and connectivity changes in the central auditory system during normal aging and Alzheimer's disease, with the goal of developing targeted therapeutic strategies. The research integrates single-cell...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support a research study to assess the relationship between auditory test performance and the progression of Alzheimer's disease pathology. Specifically, the $1,183,821 award to Dartmouth College will examine whether peripheral or central auditory processing deficits correlate with the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques and tau tangles in the brain over time. The study will leverage an existing...
This $193,750 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) supports research on the neural dynamics and circuits in the auditory cortex that enable implicit learning of complex sounds in mice. The project aims to identify the specific neural mechanisms and causal links between neuronal characteristics and implicit auditory learning by...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $248,947 Project Grant (R00DC020185) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173).

This federal Project Grant award, valued at $218,068, was 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. The grant will fund the development of a new computational model of the human auditory subcortex that integrates aspects of binaural processing and efferent gain control. The model aims to simulate neural responses and predict human behavioral performance in...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $417,741 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop computational models that replicate human auditory abilities. The objectives are to build models that can perform tasks like sound recognition and localization, and then evaluate the models' performance compared to humans, especially in the presence of...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by 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 on the neural mechanisms underlying speech perception in the human brain. The $579,622 award, with a project period from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2029, will support studies aimed at understanding whether neural computations in the cortex are primarily yoked...
This is a Project Grant award of $194,400 from 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 supports research at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary to investigate the roles of perineuronal nets and microglia in the dysfunction of parvalbumin-positive interneurons following sensorineural hearing loss. The research aims to examine chronic perineuronal net...

This federal Project Grant award number R21DC021766 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 $208,750 grant will fund research at The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to investigate the role of the hippocampus in auditory processing and speech comprehension under adverse listening conditions using high-resolution 7 Tesla functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The project aims to characterize the layer-specific connectivity between the hippocampus and auditory cortex during degraded speech processing and correlate it with behavioral measures. The findings could provide insights into the mechanisms underlying age-related hearing loss and Alzheimer's disease. This Early Career Research (ECR) Award (R21) project runs from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028.
