Overview
<p>The American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHFoundation) invites investigators to submit proposals in competition for up to four research grants of $25,000 each. The New Century Scholars Research Grant is designed to advance knowledge, tools, and techniques in communication sciences and disorders.</p> <p>While proposal type and content area are not restricted, this grant supports studies that are innovative, have a promise of major impact, or can meet research needs not yet addressed. The funding can be applied to a one- or two-year study.</p> <p>A review panel will evaluate the proposals based on the following five criteria:<br>• Significance: The potential for the study to advance the discipline of communication sciences and disorders and to impact clinical needs relevant to audiology or speech-language pathology.<br>• Approach: The merits of the design for accomplishing the specific aims of the study and, if applicable, the potential challenges of moving the study toward completion. The appropriateness and feasibility of a detailed account of the method, including measurement and data-analysis plans, will be considered.<br>• Investigator: The perceived ability to carry out the study in the specified time period, reflected by appropriate training, experience, and past accomplishments. The investigator outlines clear and detailed management and budget plans.<br>• Environment: The extent to which the investigator has access to needed scientific facilities, resources, personnel, and participants.<br>• Innovation: The refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, methods, or interventions. The investigator explains how the research is groundbreaking and has potential to impact the discipline.</p>
Solicitation Limitations: <p>Letter of intent required.</p> <p>Investigators must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the New Century Scholars Research Grant.</p> <p>The investigator must have received a PhD or equivalent research doctorate within the discipline of communication sciences and disorders.</p> <p>Note: Due to availability of student research grant and scholarship funds through the ASHFoundation, students currently enrolled in a degree program or working on dissertation research are not eligible for this competition.<br>The investigator must demonstrate the potential for and commitment to conducting independent research.<br>• The research must have significance and direct application to communication sciences and disorders.<br>• The research setting must be an environment conducive to completing the investigation.<br>• Experienced investigators must provide an explanation of why the proposed work represents a new effort that is not fundable from existing research support or is not an extension of funding that is currently supporting the work. Further, a clear description of the potential impact of the research must be included. (Regarding funding, experienced investigators are those whose current or recent professional funding history indicates "principal investigator" or "co-investigator" status on research funding costs exceeding $50,000 from agencies other than the investigator's host institution.)<br>• Preference for funding consideration will be given to ASHA members.<br>• The proposal submitted to the 2020 New Century Scholars Research Grant competition cannot be submitted to other 2020 ASHFoundation grant competitions. However, the investigator remains eligible to submit to other ASHFoundation grant competitions in the same year, if proposing to investigate a different topic.</p> Other Information:<p>Note for 2020: In preparation for the grant submission and review processes, the ASHFoundation requests that potential investigators complete an Intent to Submit Form by March 4 to provide information regarding their proposed studies. When investigators log in to the online submission system, they will be prompted to complete the Intent to Submit Form. This step must be completed before proceeding to the proposal submission process, which has an April 15, 2020 deadline.</p>Last Updated:
