Research Doctoral Survey Help

Information Icon Which of the following components of the ASHA-funded innovative doctoral education model, IPDLE-3, has the CSD program adopted?

Tip: IPDLE-3 is the acronym for an innovative PhD education model called Institutional Partnerships, Distance-Learning Enhanced Education, and a Three-Pronged Entry Approach. The educational model implemented by the University of Cincinnati via a grant funded by ASHA is characterized by

__ Institutional partnerships with bachelor's only programs
__ Institutional partnerships with master's only programs
__ Distance learning
__ 3 points of entry (bachelor's-PhD, master's-PhD, post-master or post-clinical doctorate entry)
__ None of the above

Information Icon For the most recently completed academic year (Fall through and including Summer), indicate the source of funding and the type of grant/contract awarded to the faculty/program for research, training, or personnel preparation.

Tip: Types of grants:

  • Research grant—awarded for the purpose of conducting basic or applied research.
  • Training and career development grant—awarded for the purpose of enhancing the education and experience of promising scientists. May be awarded to an academic institution to help establish, expand, or improve professional programs.
  • Personnel preparation—awarded for the purpose of increasing the number of personnel within a discipline (e.g., SLPs, pediatric audiologists, PhD-level faculty)
  • Enter additional sources of funding and types of grants in the text box provided in the next survey question.
