- This Project Grant award of $868,458 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to the University of Texas at Austin aims to characterize the communication practices of Black families with children identified as late talkers. The study will use a mixed-methods approach, including video-cued ethnography and direct child assessments, to (1) understand Black caregivers' conceptualization of effective communication and late talking, (2) describe...
- This $448,525 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will fund a mixed-methods study by Father Flanagan's Boys' Home to examine caregivers' and pediatricians' decision-making processes related to late talking in children. The project aims to address key barriers in this domain, including understanding the information needs of caregivers and pediatricians, and how social determinants of health impact knowledge...
- 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 $435,875 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will be used by Vanderbilt University to address issues with the reliability and generalizability of research on late-language emergence, or "late-talking," in children. The project aims to: 1) Increase the availability of data on late-talkers by curating and ingesting existing datasets into a data repository, 2) Integrate the datasets using...
- This federal Project Grant award of $415,233 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will leverage existing data and create open data resources to identify patterns and predictors of developmental outcomes in late-talking children. The project, led by the University of Maryland, College Park, will track the written language development of students from grades 6 to 11, both with and without developmental language disorders (DLD), focusing on...
- This federal Project Grant award of $147,486.00, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", supports a mixed-methods research study focused on developing culturally responsive caregiver-implemented early language interventions for Latino children in Puerto Rico. The key objectives are to characterize the use of naturalistic language facilitation strategies by...
- 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 of $149,348 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to understand the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying infants' and toddlers' language development. The research program will evaluate caregiver-infant interactions to quantify variation in infants' communicative success, examine infants' sensitivity to...
- This Project Grant award of $431,750.00 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal grant program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173). The goal of the project is to investigate the connection between building early vocabulary structure and subsequent language growth in toddlers, including those identified as "late-talkers" who are at risk for persistent language...
This Project Grant award of $461,995.00 from the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) supports a qualitative investigation into the factors that influence families of late-talking children to pursue early communication evaluations before age three. The study, titled "Learning from Success Stories: A Qualitative Investigation of Factors Influencing Families of Late Talkers to Pursue Communication Evaluations Before Age Three", aims to understand the decisions and experiences of "access outlier" families who successfully obtained communication evaluations for their children in the first three years of life. The research will leverage qualitative implementation science methods to explore how factors such as research evidence, family values/preferences, and expert guidance contributed to these families' ability to access timely evaluations, with the goal of informing strategies to better support more families in this situation. The project will be conducted by the Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York over a two-year period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
