ASHA is offering student research travel awards for the 2009 ASHA Convention in order to highlight the research activities of "budding" scientists and encourage careers in science and research. The 2009 ASHA Convention will be held from November 19–21, 2009, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Approximately 25-30 student research travel awards of $500 each are available for undergraduate, master's, AuD, and PhD students (at the time of submission) who are first authors on a paper of any of the following session types: (a) technical, (b) poster, (c) one-hour seminar or instructional course, (d) two-hour seminar or instructional course, or (e) short course. Identification of awardees will be based on the qualitative and quantitative recommendations of Convention co-chairs and topic coordinators.
