This federal Project Grant award for $146,206, awarded on December 15, 2024 by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), supports research on the "Cortical and Subcortical Dynamics in the Central Auditory System Across Learning and Overtraining". The project, which runs through August 15, 2027, aims to investigate how the auditory cortex interacts with subcortical regions like the medial geniculate body and inferior colliculus to support auditory...
This $147,486 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) will fund research at Carnegie Mellon University to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying spatial auditory attention in normal hearing listeners and bilateral cochlear implant users. The project aims to evaluate whether magnifying interaural level differences can improve spatial hearing for cochlear...
This federal Project Grant award of $312,898 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will support research at New York University (NYU) to investigate the role of the auditory cortex in skilled, sound-guided behavior in mice. The project aims to develop a novel mouse behavioral paradigm that requires real-time acoustic feedback to guide skilled forelimb movements,...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $392,040 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to Colorado State University. The grant will fund research to causally test how hormones affect the development and activation of neural circuits that drive auditory processing. The proposed research combines molecular and electrophysiological approaches to examine neuroendocrine modulation of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (93.173), will fund research to examine how the human auditory cortex integrates speech information in the presence of background noise. The $303,136 award, effective from December 2, 2024 to December 31, 2027, will be conducted by the University of Rochester. The research aims to use scalp and...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $521,432 Project Grant under the CFDA 93.173 Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program to the University of Rochester. The grant supports the development of a new computational model of the human auditory subcortex that integrates binaural processing and efferent gain control to investigate masking in complex sounds for both normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners. The research...
This federal Project Grant award of $263,750 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" program supports research to 1) establish a visual mismatch response (VMMR) paradigm in American Sign Language (ASL) using magnetoencephalography (MEG), and 2) examine the effect of early language experience on pre-attentive perceptual processing for ASL. The project aims to...
This federal Project Grant award of $610,725.00 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 grant will fund research at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate physiological mechanisms that contribute to suprathreshold deficits in speech understanding for individuals with sensorineural hearing loss. The key research activities include:...
This federal Project Grant award of $307,372 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under their "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" program (CFDA 93.173), supports research on auditory perceptual processing in the primate superior colliculus. The research aims to determine the neural mechanisms that underlie decision criteria for auditory perception in primates, focusing on both spatial and non-spatial auditory...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $154,568 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to the University of Southern California (USC) to conduct research on "Human Cochlear Masking and Suppression Measured Using Dynamic Stimuli." The award period runs from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Through this grant, USC will perform research to investigate solutions to problems relevant to...

This federal Project Grant award of $600,000.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (93.173), supports research on auditory-motor interactions in neural processing and the frequency-following response. The research aims to investigate how the human auditory system balances the competing functions of attenuating self-generated sounds while remaining vigilant to external stimuli, and how this processing changes when sounds are unexpected. The research will use non-invasive methods like electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging to map neural processing of self-generated and passively perceived sounds, both expected and unexpected, in order to advance understanding of human communication processes and disorders. The award was made on August 1, 2025 with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2028.
