- The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), a program within the Administration for Community Living, has awarded a $953,657 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. The five-year project, titled "The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (The RERC on AAC)", will generate user-centered, evidence-based AAC technologies and supports to promote participation,...
- This $778,740 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research to establish normative data on auditory-perceptual features of motor speech development in preschool-aged children. The goal is to create a clinically feasible assessment protocol to facilitate early and accurate differential diagnosis of childhood apraxia of speech and...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $743,412 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to the University of Oregon. The goal of this 5-year project is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and implementation outcomes of different parent-implemented naturalistic communication intervention (PI-NCI) modalities for improving parent responsivity and child communication/language outcomes among...
- This federal Project Grant award of $469,036, 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), aims to characterize accuracy and variability in speech sound productions across bidialectal and bilingual preschoolers. The study will examine two groups of children - those acquiring African American English and Standardized American English, as well as those acquiring...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $425,814 Project Grant under the "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173) program to Northeastern University. The grant is for a 2-year project from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027 to establish the preliminary efficacy of a smartwatch-based ecological momentary intervention (EMI) for improving word retrieval in post-stroke aphasia patients. The EMI will deliver...
The Project Grant award titled "OPTIMIZING READING INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS WHO USE AAC" is funded 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 $432,575 grant, awarded on August 6, 2025, supports research conducted by The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to determine contextual factors that influence school capacity for daily implementation of the ALLSTAR (Accessible Literacy Learning) intervention, which has been shown to significantly improve literacy outcomes for students who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. The project aims to refine the ALLSTAR implementation strategy by identifying core and adaptable components to improve its fit within school settings, with the long-term goal of maximizing communication and literacy outcomes for individuals who use AAC.
