This grant provides mentored career development support for postdoctoral audiologists with both clinical and research training. The program is designed to facilitate the transition of Au.D./Ph.D. audiologists into independent research careers focused on deafness and communication disorders. The award supports mentored research experiences that will prepare recipients to conduct independent research in areas aligned with the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders mission.
