Project Grant R21DC022760
- 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 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...
- The federal Project Grant award titled "BRAIN BIOMARKERS OF LATE TALKING: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF EARLY IDENTIFICATION AND RISK OF PERSISTENCE" is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The $453,893 award, granted on September 1, 2025, will support a longitudinal study at Florida State University to prospectively identify neural biomarkers of late talking in children from...
- 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 $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 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...
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $448,335 Project Grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on "Predicting Late Talkers in Infants Who Are at Elevated Familial Likelihood for Autism." The project aims to create a normative model for identifying language development challenges in infants who have a family history of autism, in order to facilitate early intervention. The research...
- 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 of $432,893 from the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will fund a study titled "JUMP START TO TALK: UNDERSTANDING DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES FROM PARENTS AND TEACHERS TO RETHINK AND IMPROVE IDENTIFICATION, REFERRAL, AND SERVICE FOR DUAL LANGUAGE LEARNER LATE TALKERS" at the University of Miami. The study aims to examine the cultural perspectives of Hispanic and Haitian caregivers and early childhood education...
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 Integrative Data Analysis (IDA) to create a consistently scaled language measure and enable new research questions, and 3) Leverage the integrated dataset to explore inconsistencies in the bioecological factors that influence language development in late-talkers. By addressing limitations of existing research, this project seeks to advance the understanding of predictors for late-talking and subsequent language skills. The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027.
