Description
The ASHFoundation’s Clinical Research Grants for Collaborative Research Studies aim to foster bold, interdisciplinary pilot projects that directly enhance treatment efficacy, assessment practices, or the implementation of evidence into practice within audiology and speech-language pathology. These grants are designed to support planning and pilot studies that lay the groundwork for future large-scale, externally funded research collaborations. Proposals should emphasize innovation, rigorous methodology, and a clear collaborative plan, with the goal of generating preliminary data that demonstrate feasibility and promise for larger studies. The quality and track record of collaborators, as well as the overall impact and novelty of the research, are key evaluation criteria.
