Non-CSD Travel Stipend for IPE/IPP Presentations at the ASHA Convention

As part of ASHA’s Strategic Objective to promote interprofessional education and interprofessional collaborative practice, ASHA offers a travel stipend to encourage the participation of non-CSD (communication sciences and disorders) presenters at ASHA Convention. ASHA has a limited fund to award travel stipends to selected non-CSD co-presenters.

Have an audiologist, speech-language pathologist, or a CSD researcher as a presenting author who will register for the Convention.
Stipend awardees must present their content in-person at the conference.

Travel Stipend Awards

Total stipend pool is $25,000.
Individual stipends are $1,000 per non-CSD presenter.
No more than two non-CSD presenters per session may receive the stipend (registration is waived).
Stipend recipients will be notified by late summer.
Recipients will receive a stipend check in the mail following the ASHA Convention.

Selection Process

Proposals undergo independent review and rating by the ASHA Convention Topic Committees as part of the Call for Papers review process.
Accepted sessions that also meet the eligibility criteria are referred to ASHA's IPE/IPP Strategic Objective Team for consideration based on:
- highest rated session in any topic area
- sessions include information about IPE/IPP competencies, research, tools or curricular models that facilitate successful team collaborations
- content and focus not duplicated by invited sessions
- achieving diversity of awardees based on professional settings, disciplines, and disorder areas
Stipend awardees must resubmit financial disclosures to reflect travel award.
Stipend awardees must submit W-9 (US based recipients) or W-8BEN (international recipients) forms by the designated deadline in order to receive the stipend awards.
