Project Grant R21DC023278
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $263,750 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the federal "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173) grant program. The 3-year project, running from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, aims to 1) establish a visual mismatch response paradigm using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to measure pre-attentive neural processing of American Sign Language (ASL) signs,...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program, awarded a $196,143 Project Grant to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) to examine the feasibility of using eye-tracking technology as an implicit measure of word understanding for autistic children who are minimally verbal or non-speaking. The study aims to (1) evaluate the feasibility of using eye-tracking...
- This Project Grant award for $428,054 from 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), will fund a study on deaf preschoolers' exploratory behaviors and parental guidance during shared museum experiences. The research aims to uncover relationships between motor exploratory behaviors and learning outcomes in deaf and hearing children whose parents...
- This Project Grant award of $364,982.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research to develop a model for matching people with aphasia-related reading problems (acquired dyslexia) to the most effective treatments. The project aims to leverage computational cognitive modeling of reading and its impairment to improve individualized...
- The University of Rochester received a Project Grant award of $303,136 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) on December 2, 2024 under the federal grant program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173). This project aims to examine how the human auditory cortex integrates speech information in the presence or absence of background noise using scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and intracranial EEG recordings....
- 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 $585,999.00 to the University of South Florida to conduct research on improving speech understanding for individuals with cochlear implants in the presence of background noise. The research aims to examine how spatial cues can support communication by exploring the interactions...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders grant program (CFDA 93.173), awarded a $423,500 project grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The grant, running from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2027, will fund research to develop new functional MRI (fMRI) techniques to study the human nose and its connections to the nervous system. This innovative project aims to overcome...
- This $165,014 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the development of linguistically-driven sign recognition technologies from continuous American Sign Language (ASL) signing videos. The Rochester Institute of Technology will receive funding under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to advance sign recognition techniques for isolated citations to segmented signs within sentences. The research will create an end-to-end machine learning...
- This federal Project Grant award of $662,162 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 research by Oregon Health & Science University to investigate binaural spectral and temporal integration in individuals with hearing loss and hearing devices. The research aims to better understand abnormal binaural fusion and its association with...
- This 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 $295,840 to The House Institute Foundation to conduct research on real-time speech processing in children with normal hearing and those using hearing aids. The study will use eye-tracking technology to examine the effects of background noise, such as speech-shaped noise and two-talker speech,...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $498,968 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) federal grant program. The grant, titled "Deafness, Vocabulary Knowledge, and the Emergence of Reading Efficiency: Evidence from Eye-Tracking", will be conducted by the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) from September 2025 to August 2028. The project aims to assess the degree to which American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary knowledge transfers to English reading comprehension and supports eye-movement control in deaf and hard-of-hearing readers. The research will use eye-tracking and behavioral language testing to investigate factors leading to reading efficiency in this population, with a focus on the role of first- and second-language vocabulary knowledge.
