Dysphonia International Research Travel Awards
Supporting the future of voice research through research travel awards
The Dysphonia International Research Travel Award program provides travel funds to annual meetings of professional associations whose focus is voice, both for research and clinical advancement. By bringing investigators together to present their research on spasmodic dysphonia and related voice conditions, we are making connections that will help further their interest in voice conditions and ensure that it will continue to be an area of focus for future research.
This type of collaboration positions Dysphonia International not only as an organization for people living with SD and related voice conditions but one that is there to partner with healthcare professionals and researchers in the field of voice and serve as an ongoing resource to them.
We are currently offering Research Awards to the following organizations, which are administered through the respective organization.
