We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Brain Bases of Language @ University of Alabama At Birmingham
No other primate species develops a language competency approaching that of humans. Thus in some way, human brains are distinct from the brains of other primates. Further, language capacity is not a generic function of cerebral cortex, but of functionally specialized regions. By coordinated study of function by functional MRI and histological study of cortical structure, this project addresses the question, What distinguishes "language" cortex from other cerebral cortex? Support for preliminary studies is provided by a UAB Health Services Foundation Grant. An NIH R01 grant has been applied for. From a population of terminally ill subjects, characterized neuropsychologically and with functional MRI, we will obtain cortical specimens for histological study. Functional MRI will be used to identify cerebral cortical areas involved in semantic processing and those involved in processing auditory stimuli. Preliminary results in three volunteers have established the ability of the visually presented and auditorily presented stimuli to elicit activation observable by fMRI. As a result of these comparisons it will be possible to state what are the neuroanatomical structural features specific for cortical regions functionally specialized for language. The ultimate goal is to determine how the operations of these cerebral cortical areas, with their specific structural features, yields the cognitive product: language.

P50Activity Code Description:
To support any part of the full range of research and development from very basic to clinical; may involve ancillary supportive activities such as protracted patient care necessary to the primary research or R&D effort. The spectrum of activities comprises a multidisciplinary attack on a specific disease entity or biomedical problem area. These grants differ from program project grants in that they are usually developed in response to an announcement of the programmatic needs of an Institute or Division and subsequently receive continuous attention from its staff. Centers may also serve as regional or national resources for special research purposes. |
Core--Clinical @ University of Alabama At Birmingham
The Clinical Core of the UAB Alzheimer's Disease Research Center will provide to UAB investigators a cohort of subjects with mild and moderate AD, as well as age matched controls (emphasis on African-Americans), diagnosed by standard criteria. While the Clinical Core will be a University wide resource, our initial focus will be supporting the companion clinical studies included in this proposal. These studies will evaluate the important clinical, functional, and personal consequences of this grave illness: the competence to operate an automobile, the competence to manage one's financial affairs, and the utility of telephone based interventions for caregivers of demented patients. Our demonstrated ability to recruit from minority populations and our fortunate position as the only potential NIA ADRC in our state provides us the opportunity to secure a sizable diverse population for recruitment and make available these specialized services to an otherwise under-served area. In addition, this Core will handle all data services, including submission to the ADRC-combined data base, and will handle all autopsy procedures until the actual time of autopsy.
