This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $700,000 to the University of Tennessee from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant supports research examining how infants process intersensory information and make sense of their environment. Specifically, the project will use measures of heart rate, electroencephalography, and computational...
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a $437,479 Project Grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director. The grant aims to leverage a unique dataset of 1,667 toddlers to identify predictors of divergent language and clinical outcomes in late-talking children. Key objectives include analyzing 9 commonly reported predictors of expressive language abilities and leveraging eye-tracking data to...
This $868,458 Project Grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) aims to characterize the communication practices of Black caregivers and their children identified as "late talkers". The study will use a mixed-methods approach, including video-cued ethnography and direct language assessments, to (1) understand Black caregivers' conceptualization of effective communication and late talking, (2) describe their...
This Project Grant award for $214,925.00, awarded on August 7, 2024 by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support research at the University of South Carolina on early predictors of infant-parent coordinated attention and word learning in preterm and full-term infants. The research aims to explore fundamental developmental processes and health outcomes affecting infants,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support a research project to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying word retention and vocabulary development in toddlers aged 25 to 35 months. The $542,304 award, effective September 1, 2024, will fund the development of novel functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experimental paradigms to...
This $213,467 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on how infants learn language by studying their interactions with caregivers. The project consists of two related studies: 1) recording speech and eye movements of infants playing with toys to understand when speech is interpretable to them, and 2) creating and annotating a large corpus of everyday spoken language to estimate...
This $248,999 federal Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2024 by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant supports research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center to discover novel therapeutics for managing infection-induced preterm birth. The key objectives are to: 1) Optimize a high-throughput screening assay to identify small molecules that can modulate...
This $2,407,649 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 characterize the language development of deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children. The study aims to create growth curves of expressive American Sign Language (ASL) and English skills for 250 DHH children aged 0-8 years, to provide critical guidance on the impact...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $241,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to investigate how speech from young children influences infant language development. The project aims to establish how infants process speech from children versus adults, whether child-produced speech differs systematically in content and complexity,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) aims to advance the identification of late-talking children and map their developmental trajectories using real-world data from electronic health records (EHRs). The $442,750 award to Duke University will fund the development of novel machine learning approaches to detect late talkers within EHR databases and create open, shared data resources to...
