The University of Memphis received a $197,593 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), effective June 22, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2027. The award funds the acquisition of the Interacoustics VisualEyes 525B rotary chair system equipped with videonystagmography (VNG) module and pediatric assessment kit to enhance vestibular research and graduate training capabilities at the University of Memphis School of Communication Sciences and Disorders. The acquired equipment will replace outdated infrastructure and enable advanced diagnostic assessment of vestibular function across the lifespan, from infants through older adults. The system's advanced capabilities—including sinusoidal harmonic acceleration, step velocity testing, oculomotor examination, and visual fixation suppression—will support detailed evaluation of both peripheral and central vestibular function with pediatric-compatible components for safe testing in young children. The equipment will directly support multiple research laboratories within the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across the institution and region, advancing NIH-relevant research initiatives focused on vestibular function assessment, physiological markers identification, and clinical diagnostic improvement for vestibular disorders affecting fall risk in older adults and developmental outcomes in children.
