The American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation is offering new grant funding this year that will be of particular interest to Division 11. As part of the Foundation’s annual new investigator grant competition, clinical supervision research will be given priority. This focus is an outgrowth of dialogue during 1997 between the Foundation and an ASHA Task Force on Clinical Supervision. The group (Arlene Pietranton (staff coordinator), Jaynee Calder, Celia Hooper, and Sandra Ulrich) cited the need for research to examine and compare various components of supervision with the goal of determining the most effective models and procedures. It was determined that this type of research, while critically important, was less likely to be funded by outside agencies. The Foundation, mindful of both the importance of the topic and yet the limited available funds, proposed that it launch an initiative as part of its annual new investigator program.
