This Project Grant award of $696,836.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program, will fund a cross-sectional study to phenotype the neural basis of sensorimotor control of speech in individuals with 16p11.2 deletion syndrome. The primary objectives are to examine speech abilities, sensorimotor control of speech, and the neural processes supporting these functions in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $868,458 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct a mixed-methods study that characterizes the conceptualization of effective communication and late talking among Black caregivers of children identified as late talkers. The study aims to (1) understand Black caregivers' perspectives on communication and late talking, (2) describe their experiences with language...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $102,324 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program to The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The funding supports a research project investigating the role of Dectin-1 expressing macrophages/microglia in age-related auditory nerve degeneration and demyelination. The project aims to define age-dependent changes in Dectin-1 expressing...
