This $428,883 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) aims to examine the effects of individualized transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on phonological short-term memory performance in chronic stroke survivors with aphasia. The key objectives are to identify optimal tACS targets, frequency, and electric field coverage based on...
This 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), provides $457,935 to study the effects of combining continuous theta burst stimulation (a type of transcranial magnetic stimulation) with a modified form of constraint-induced language therapy to treat mild post-stroke aphasia. The primary recipient, The Trustees of the University of...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $2,731,341, 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 award supports a research project to study the effects of Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation (cTBS), a type of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), combined with a modified form of Constraint Induced Language Therapy (MCILT) in 63...
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 $146,816.00 to the University of Texas at Austin to assess semantic encoding and decoding models for improving communication in people with stroke-induced aphasia. The key objectives are to: 1) adapt existing semantic decoding approaches for individuals with aphasia, 2) develop semantic...
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 (CFDA 93.173) program, provides $108,512 to support research on improving language production and recovery in individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The research aims to use network control theory to model brain regions and connectivity, and determine how brain network properties influence language production in...
This federal Project Grant award of $601,672 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA program 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" will support research to better understand the relationship between aging, brain integrity, and chronic aphasia among stroke survivors. The key objectives of the 5-year research project are to: 1) examine the influence of cardiovascular risk factors and protective cognitive...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), aims to evaluate the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in combination with attention-focused language treatment to improve attention, language, and fatigue outcomes for persons with aphasia. The $760,283 award, with a project period from December 1, 2024 to November 30,...
This federal Project Grant award of $196,460 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 award supports research to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying semantic feature generation in persons with aphasia, a communication disorder affecting 2.4 million Americans. The research aims to identify the semantic model that best correlates with...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $147,486 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) federal grant program to the University of Pittsburgh. The grant will support research to investigate the role of sleep-related memory consolidation in aphasia treatment outcomes. Specifically, the project aims to explore how sleep quality impacts...
The federal Project Grant award R01DC022663, totaling $702,315.00, 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 award is supporting a research project titled "Exercising Language: Behavioral and Neurophysiological Changes After High-Intensity Exercise Training in Post-Stroke Aphasia" conducted by the University of California, Berkeley. The...
