Description
The ASHFoundation’s Clinical Research Grants for mentored research studies are designed to foster innovative research that directly advances the delivery of services to individuals with communication disorders. These grants support projects that enhance knowledge of treatment efficacy, assessment practices, or the implementation of evidence into practice within audiology and speech-language pathology. The program emphasizes mentorship, modeled after the NIH F32 mechanism, to help early-career researchers build their skills and progress toward future external funding. Proposals should be innovative, have clear clinical relevance, and be feasible for completion within two years.
