The Student Research Grant in Audiology is designed to support doctoral students engaged in research studies related to clinical and/or rehabilitative audiology. This grant is made possible through the Ira M. Ventry and Brad Friedrich Memorial Funds, commemorating the contributions of two esteemed professionals in the field of audiology. The grant aims to carry forward Ira Ventry's work on hearing issues and Brad Friedrich's expertise in pediatric audiology by financially supporting emerging researchers. Up to three grants of $2,000 each are awarded in the current cycle to aid in the conduct of significant research projects.
