Research Roundtables at ASHA Convention

ASHA invites early-career and experienced researchers to network and discuss research career topics at the Annual Research Roundtables at the ASHA Convention. Researchers, including students interested in research careers, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty, will have the opportunity to meet and learn from experienced researchers and funding agency staff.

Well-established researchers will facilitate discussions on numerous topics related to starting, maintaining, and managing research careers. Researchers at all career stages will find topics of interest ranging from pursuing a PhD, to securing research funding, to engaging in international research collaborations. Discussions on funding will be led by funded investigators and funding agency staff.

This special event is organized by ASHA's Academic Affairs and Research Education team.
