Description
This funding opportunity supports collaborative research projects that advance the delivery of services to individuals with communication disorders. The grant is designed for mid-career investigators leading interdisciplinary, one-year pilot studies that generate preliminary data and foster new research directions in audiology and speech-language pathology.
