Project Grant R21DC023369
- This federal Project Grant award of $781,703, awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", supports research to better understand sensory development in human cochlear organoids. The goals are to define the developmental trajectories of key sensory cell types, test methods to increase the number of hair cells, and accelerate the maturation of hair cells and sensory...
- This Project Grant award of $637,500.00 was provided 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 goal of the project is to understand the forward transduction that drives inner and outer hair cell stereocilia, as well as the reverse transduction that amplifies motion in the human cochlea, using a novel finite element modeling technique. The research will focus...
- The federal Project Grant award of $111,321.00 from 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 conducted by President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard Medical School) to develop novel inner ear organoid models for studying hair cell development and Usher syndrome type 1F, a form of deaf-blindness. The research aims to overcome challenges in...
- This $171,308 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), supports research to identify molecular markers and map local axonal projections of previously unidentified neuron types in the auditory midbrain. The research team at the University of Michigan aims to leverage recent advances in sequencing and molecular biology to characterize two...
- This $647,518 Project Grant award, 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, supports research investigating the impact of cochlear synaptopathy on brainstem mechanisms of monaural temporal processing and binaural hearing. The study aims to understand the neural mechanisms and loci in the auditory system that produce listening difficulties, which can emerge...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), awarded a $589,393 Project Grant to Northwestern University to support research on the development of cochlear innervation. The goal is to elucidate how the neural circuit in the mammalian cochlea assembles during development, by altering the identity of certain cell types involved. Through this project, the researchers will...
- This $115,158 Project Grant, awarded on February 1, 2025 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), supports research into the neurological mechanisms underlying hearing loss. The central hypothesis is that the presentation of phosphatidylserine acts as a signal to mark inactive spiral ganglion neuron connections with outer hair cells for removal, facilitating...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", awarded a $193,750.00 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028, will fund research to investigate the neural dynamics and underlying mechanisms in the auditory cortex during implicit learning of complex sounds. The research aims to map the neural circuits...
- This federal Project Grant award of $445,956, 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), is focused on establishing a molecular and physiologic biorepository of the human inner ear. The key objectives are to identify the normal physiology and molecular architecture of the human inner ear, and to determine whether findings from animal models also apply to humans,...
- This $146,206 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research to understand the role of auditory cortex and subcortical regions in learning and retaining associations between sounds and behavioral outcomes in mice. The research aims to investigate how the auditory cortex may train subcortical regions like the medial...
This federal Project Grant award for $486,750.00 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 grant supports research to explore the morphological changes and cell polarity mechanisms in supporting cells of the inner ear, which play a critical role in auditory function. The primary awardee, the Jackson Laboratory, a nonprofit biomedical research institution, will conduct studies to track the position of basal bodies in supporting cells and investigate their role in the development of phalangeal processes, which are important for cochlear amplification. The research aims to provide new insights into the complex remodeling of supporting cells and advance the understanding of auditory science. This award runs from September 2025 to August 2027.
