The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $262,001 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado-Denver. The grant, which runs from September 30, 2024 to April 30, 2026, will fund research to investigate the underlying causes of "hidden" age-related hearing loss, which affects sound...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a 5-year, $409,280 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The grant will fund the "CRCNS: Building and Testing Computational Models of the Neural Basis of Natural Communication" project, which aims to: Create a dataset of 750 hours of continuous electrocorticography (ECoG) data from epilepsy...
This federal Project Grant award of $600,000.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (93.173), supports research on auditory-motor interactions in neural processing and the frequency-following response. The research aims to investigate how the human auditory system balances the competing functions of attenuating self-generated sounds while remaining vigilant...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $147,486 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The goal of this 2.5-year project is to identify the circuit mechanisms responsible for contrast-dependent perceptual changes and neuronal gain adaptation in the primary auditory...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $392,040 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to Colorado State University. The grant will fund research to causally test how hormones affect the development and activation of neural circuits that drive auditory processing. The proposed research combines molecular and electrophysiological approaches to examine neuroendocrine modulation of...
This federal Project Grant award of $477,660 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports research to investigate age-related brain differences that affect speech recognition in older adults. The primary objectives are to characterize how quickly older adults accumulate sensory evidence and how much evidence they require to make speech recognition decisions, and to link these perceptual...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (93.173), will fund research to examine how the human auditory cortex integrates speech information in the presence of background noise. The $303,136 award, effective from December 2, 2024 to December 31, 2027, will be conducted by the University of Rochester. The research aims to use scalp and...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $521,432 Project Grant under the CFDA 93.173 Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program to the University of Rochester. The grant supports the development of a new computational model of the human auditory subcortex that integrates binaural processing and efferent gain control to investigate masking in complex sounds for both normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners. The research...
This federal Project Grant award for $146,206, awarded on December 15, 2024 by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), supports research on the "Cortical and Subcortical Dynamics in the Central Auditory System Across Learning and Overtraining". The project, which runs through August 15, 2027, aims to investigate how the auditory cortex interacts with subcortical regions like the medial geniculate body and inferior colliculus to support auditory...
This 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), provides $251,856 to New York University from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The funding supports research investigating the neuroplastic processes underlying early adaptation to cochlear implants, which restore hearing and speech perception in individuals with severe or profound...
