This $295,662 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) aims to advance a therapeutic strategy for treating age-related olfactory loss, or presbyosmia. The key products and services to be delivered include: Establishing the optimal small interfering RNA (siRNA) sequence, dose, and duration for activating dormant horizontal basal cells (HBCs) to...
The Project Grant award R01DC022320 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders federal grant program (CFDA 93.173). The $665,886 award supports research by New York University School of Medicine to characterize the transformation of odor responses from the olfactory bulb to higher-order neurons, explore the underlying mechanisms, and reveal its significance for information...
This federal Project Grant award for $558,930, issued by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), supports an intensive longitudinal study on normal variations in human olfactory (smell) function, as well as changes in smell disorders associated with viral infections and Parkinson's disease. The 5-year study, titled "Intensive Longitudinal Assessment of Human Olfaction," has two principal investigators - one at the University of Virginia and one...
This $564,134 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 by Harvard Medical School to investigate the relationship between experience-dependent transcriptional adaptation and olfactory function in the sensory system. The key objectives of the research project are to: 1) characterize how sensory neuron-specific gene expression...
This $423,500 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) will support an innovative research project at Florida State University (FSU) to investigate odor coding principles in the piriform cortex of the brain.
