Our academic faculty members are very active researchers, and many are supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health or other extramural funding sources. As a department, and in collaboration with our colleagues across the country, we are responsible for nearly $25 million in current extramural funding.
This page contains current funding information. There are three broad areas of research interest:
- Hearing science.
- Speech and language.
- Aging/developmental.
Within each area, grants are listed alphabetically by principal investigator.
