Project Grant R21DC023280
- This $600,000 project grant was awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant, awarded to Northwestern University on September 18, 2025, will establish the validity of a vocal demand task outcome measure to assess vocal muscle strength capacity in older adults with presbyphonia (age-related voice changes). The project aims to determine if measuring...
- The federal Project Grant award of $340,417 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 fund research to evaluate the clinical efficacy of local translaryngeal vibration therapy (LTLV) as a concurrent treatment approach with flow phonation voice therapy for patients with muscle tension dysphonia, a common voice disorder. The research aims to determine the optimal...
- This $947,128 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), is funding research to optimize voice therapy for individuals with hyperfunctional voice disorders. The primary goal is to enhance long-term communication outcomes by evaluating a novel non-hierarchical voice therapy approach called Conversation Training Therapy (CTT), which focuses...
- This federal Project Grant award of $405,748.00, awarded on June 9, 2025 by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program, supports the development of noninvasive aerodynamic assessments for evaluating voice disorders in children aged 4-17. The project aims to improve the reliability of measuring aerodynamic parameters in the pediatric population and describe differences...
- This $681,385 Project Grant award 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), supports research to develop and test a computational model that can quantitatively characterize the speech motor skills of individual speakers. The project involves a tight coupling of computational modeling with behavioral, neurostimulation, and neuroimaging experiments on three...
- This federal Project Grant award, 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), supports research on brain structural and functional abnormalities in the executive function network of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). The $1,204,102 award to Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, a non-profit research organization in Nebraska, will fund a study to...
- This federal 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), aims to determine the impact of modeling verbal mediation on shifting task performance in school-aged children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). The $192,289 grant will support a study where children aged 8-10 with DLD complete a series of shifting tasks over three phases:...
- This $142,074 federal Project Grant award is funded 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 supports research to investigate the inflammatory mechanisms and microbial factors contributing to acute laryngeal injury (ALGI) and glottic stenosis, which frequently occur following intubation and mechanical ventilation. The research aims to characterize the...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award of $577,136 was made 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 grant supports research on the role of the cerebellum in three components of predictive motor control in speech for individuals with ataxic dysarthria, a speech motor disorder caused by damage to or degeneration of the cerebellum. The research aims to test the...
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 $570,473.00 to Emory University for research on objective diagnostic measures to distinguish between adductor laryngeal dystonia (ADLD) and primary muscle tension dysphonia (PMTD). The key research objectives are to: 1) Investigate the underlying physiology of creak, a vocal characteristic, in speakers with ADLD by measuring subglottal pressure during connected speech, and 2) Evaluate the discriminative accuracy of early-phrase creak between speakers with ADLD, PMTD, and healthy controls. This 3-year project aims to develop automated, clinically feasible diagnostic tools to improve the reliability of differentiating these two voice disorders, which currently lack objective diagnostic measures and often lead to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.
