Description
This grant supports new investigators in the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology by funding one-year, preliminary studies with strong clinical relevance. The aim is to help early-career researchers generate pilot data or launch research programs that can later compete for larger-scale external funding. Projects should be tightly designed, feasible within a year, and advance both the investigator’s career and the discipline.
