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" will test the capability of a vestibular implant (VI) to improve cognitive dysfunction in patients with severe vestibular damage. The $651,779 award, effective September 1, 2024 through July 31, 2029, will measure how the VI affects spatial orientation, navigation, and neuropsychological function in...
The federal Project Grant award R01DC021684 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 $828,022 award to James Madison University in Virginia aims to use novel electrophysiological methods to identify, for the first time in humans, nonlinearity in cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) - responses that reflect activation of the...
This Project Grant award, valued at $514,546.00 and effective from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030, was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders". The award supports research aimed at improving the diagnosis and treatment of complex forms of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and related labyrinth disorders. Key objectives include quantifying...
This Project Grant award of $620,240 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports an observational study examining vestibular pathophysiology and the vestibular implications of standard interventions in patients with sporadic vestibular schwannomas and NF2-related schwannomatosis. The study aims to analyze vestibular dysfunction, its relationship to clinical disability and...
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 $1,993,333 to The Johns Hopkins University to examine whether novel video-oculography (VOG) measures of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) can be used as valid markers of functional outcome following vestibular loss. The key objectives are to (1) measure recovery and (2) predict...

This federal 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 $195,625 to William Marsh Rice University to conduct research on how peripheral vestibular signals generate vestibular compound action potentials (VCAPs). The research aims to reconcile observations between in-vitro electrophysiological recordings from calyx afferents and in-vivo VCAP measurements during rapid head motion. The goal is to develop a computational, mechanistic model to understand how peripheral vestibular signals shape the VCAP, which can inform diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders like age-related vestibular dysfunction. The award has a period of performance from December 13, 2024 to November 30, 2027.
