Contact: Margaret Lahey, mlahey at Bamford-Lahey.org 

The Bamford-Lahey Children's Foundation through its Grants Program has made two new Grant Awards in the first half of 2002. The Foundation continues to review a large number of letters-of-inquiry and invites a smaller number of applicants to submit complete proposals.  Awards are made based on reviews of the completed applications by at least three colleagues and on a reading of the application by the Foundation itself.  The two proposals selected during the first half of 2002 were for funding of $20,000.  One of the new awards was granted to Dr. Karin Stromswold of Rutgers University for research on "Developmental language disorders and prenatal corticosteroids."  The second award  was granted to Dr. Sima Gerber of Queens College at CUNY for a project on "Visual Reality:  Illustrating the application of developmental models to language intervention with young children."  Abstracts of these Grants as well of the two Grants funded in 2001 can be found on our website http://www.bamford-lahey.org/funded.html.   

Any awards made during the latter part of 2002 will be announced early in 2003.  Inquiries about receiving a Grant Award should be in the form of a letter-of-inquiry following the procedures outlined on our website http://www.bamford-lahey.org/guidelines.html. Before submitting an inquiry, applicants for Grant Awards are requested to carefully read the sections Objectives, Orientation, and Grants on the website www.bamford-lahey.org.  Consideration is only given to projects that are related to developmental language disorders in children, and can be completed in one year with maximum funds of  $20,000.  Applications for either research or development projects will be considered.  However, projects whose results are limited to particular children or particular clinics are not eligible.
