This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $489,500 to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to conduct research on identifying early neurobiological markers and developmental factors that impact language acquisition in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research aims to (1) characterize resting state EEG differences...
This federal Project Grant award for $442,750, awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), aims to improve how electronic health record (EHR) data is used to study late language emergence (late talking) in children. The grant will employ novel machine learning approaches, such as natural language processing, to better identify late talkers within EHR databases and create open data resources to support...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $437,479 was provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The grant will be used by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to leverage a large, longitudinal dataset of 1,667 toddlers, including 552 late talkers, to identify early predictors of divergent language and clinical outcomes at preschool age. The key objectives are to: 1) Analyze 9 common predictors...
This Project Grant award of $2,361,470 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will support research to identify early auditory and behavioral markers that can predict language development outcomes in infants. The University of Washington will conduct a longitudinal study, following infants at both low and high risk of late language emergence, and measuring their auditory brain responses, auditory and language abilities, and other...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) aims to examine the interactions between dual language input, semantic structure, and word learning in bilingual toddlers, both typically developing and late talking. The $193,752 award will fund a 5-year project at Boston University to 1) model children's lexicons and characterize the relationship between dual...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 5-year, $857,216 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to study the neurodevelopmental trajectories leading to early symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behaviors in socioeconomically disadvantaged, racially and ethnically diverse children. The key objectives of this project are to: 1)...
The federal Project Grant award of $1,204,102 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 on brain structural and functional abnormalities in the executive function network of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). The 5-year project, starting on April 10, 2025, aims to use advanced multi-modal MRI methods to comprehensively map...
This $167,626 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant will support research by the non-profit organization Father Flanagan's Boys' Home to examine the impact of intergenerational adversity exposure on parent-child linguistic interactions and child language outcomes. Leveraging an existing longitudinal dataset of 325 preschoolers...

This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $489,500 in funding to The Children's Hospital Corporation, doing business as Boston Children's Hospital, to conduct research on early predictors of late talking and primary language impairment (PLI) in young children. The research project aims to trace longitudinal trajectories of electroencephalogram (EEG) features from 2-24 months associated with late talking, and identify psychosocial environmental factors that explain individual differences in EEG development and language outcomes at 24 and 36 months. The goal is to establish a foundation for improving predictive models of language delay and impairment by examining the neural mechanisms and environmental factors associated with early language development. The project will analyze data from three existing longitudinal studies conducted by the research team, with plans to make the dataset publicly available to facilitate future secondary analyses.
