Description
This grant supports early-career researchers in speech science, particularly those whose work aligns with the legacy of Dr. Dennis Klatt in areas like speech perception, synthesis, and acoustics. The award is designed to foster innovative and rigorous research, with a preference for interdisciplinary approaches that advance the field of communication sciences and disorders. Funding can be used to initiate new projects or supplement ongoing studies, covering costs such as equipment, research assistants, participant recruitment, or research-related travel. The competition places strong emphasis on the importance and innovation of the research, the rigor and feasibility of the approach, and the expertise and resources available to the investigator.
