Description
This emergency funding initiative from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHFoundation) is designed to provide urgent, need-based financial support to doctoral students and early-career investigators in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) whose federally funded research (NIH or NSF) was terminated in 2025. The funding aims to help recipients continue their research activities or cover essential education-related expenses disrupted by the loss of federal support. This program ensures that critical CSD research projects and educational progress are not derailed by unexpected grant terminations.
