Description
This grant supports early-career researchers in communication sciences and disorders by funding one-year, preliminary studies in audiology and/or speech-language pathology. The aim is to provide new investigators with resources to develop pilot data or initial findings that can lead to larger-scale research projects. Funded studies must be clinically relevant and feasible within a one-year period, with a strong emphasis on research significance, methodological rigor, and the investigator's potential for future research impact.
