The American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHFoundation) supports innovators and encourages research that makes a difference in people's lives through speech, language, and hearing science. Inspired by pioneers like Dennis Klatt, the ASHFoundation aims to fuel advances in the field by backing new and ambitious projects that hold potential for significant impact.
The Student Research Grant in Early Childhood Language Development, supported by the Arlene M. and Noel D. Matkin Memorial Fund, is designed to encourage and assist master's and doctoral students in conducting research related to early childhood language development. The grant focuses on studies aimed at preschool or earliest school developmental levels, with a particular interest in early identification and intervention for young children with language delays and disorders. This reflects Arlene Matkin's work in early childhood language development and Noel Matkin's contributions to pediatric audiology and early intervention for hearing-impaired children. The program awards up to three grants of $2,000 each to support student research in these areas.
