The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded The Johns Hopkins University a Project Grant totaling $194,270 on May 11, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The project, titled "Effects of Early Sensory Loss on the Developing Auditory Thalamocortical Circuit," will be conducted in Baltimore, Maryland, with a completion date of April 30, 2029. The research services under this award focus on establishing foundational understanding of auditory thalamocortical circuit development and how these circuits are altered in cases of congenital deafness. The project addresses two primary objectives: identifying the developmental trajectory of the auditory thalamocortical circuit through anatomical and functional analysis, and investigating how early sensory deprivation affects circuit organization and plasticity. By defining the developmental window during which the thalamocortical circuit remains plastic, this research aims to optimize treatment outcomes for hearing interventions such as cochlear implantation and gene therapy, ultimately contributing to improved therapeutic approaches for individuals with hearing loss.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
