Advancement and Innovation in Measurement of Language Development and Predictors (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to encourage community-engaged research that broadens the conceptualization of qualities of the environment that can support language development in children and that focuses on the development of novel measures of children's language development. The overall goal is to build the number of strengths-focused, culturally and linguistically responsive, and generalizable tools to further our understanding of children's language development and/or impairment, and predictors thereof. This R21 grant mechanism supports exploratory and developmental research projects that have the potential to contribute to significant scientific advances.
