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.

K99Activity Code Description: To support the initial phase of a Career/Research Transition award program that provides 1-2 years of mentored support for highly motivated, advanced postdoctoral research scientists. R00Activity Code Description: To support the second phase of a Career/Research Transition award program that provides 1 -3 years of independent research support (R00) contingent on securing an independent research position. Award recipients will be expected to compete successfully for independent R01 support from the NIH during the R00 research transition award period. |
Neurobiology of Speech Perception in Real-World Contexts @ Weill Medical Coll of Cornell Univ
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this application is to understand the neural mechanisms of language comprehension in real-world settings, and how the brain makes use of context to aid in communication. The overarching hypothesis is that there is no fixed part of the brain for processing speech;rather, communicative context determines the organization of the brain's response to language. Aim 1 uses naturalistic stimuli to explore how functional organization changes over development as a result of changes in the relative salience of particular stimulus dimensions. Aims 2 and 3 use a combination of naturalistic and controlled stimuli to explore moment-to-moment changes in this organization in response to communicative context established by co-speech gestures (Aim 2) and discourse (Aim 3). The training goals for the mentored phase are the development of advanced techniques for the analysis and interpretation of neuroimaging (fMRI and EEG) studies approximating real-world communication, the acquisition of new techniques, and training in developmental cognitive neuroscience. These will be extended into the independent phase, laying the foundation for a broader, generative program of research and establishing an independent career path investigating how the brain makes use of these and other forms of context in real-world settings throughout the lifespan. RELEVANCE: This research has the potential for broad impact because it addresses how networks of brain areas interact under conditions that approximate real-world communication. As such, it introduces novel methods to the study of the neurobiology of speech perception that will have translational benefits for studies involving developmental and patient populations that may have difficulty participating in more controlled studies.
