<P>Bamford-Lahey Children's Foundation Is Not Accepting New Applications</P></B>
<P>We are sorry to announce that The Bamford-Lahey Children's Foundation will
not be accepting new scholarship or grant applications. Although we will
continue to process completed grant applications and to follow-up with current
scholars and funded grants, we are not able to fund new projects or new
scholars. Please pass the word on to students and colleagues who might have been
considering submitting a scholarship application or a letter-of-inquiry. Our
website will remain online for awhile so that the abstracts of funded projects,
the short bios of Bamford-Lahey Scholars, the research papers, and the
bibliographies posted on the site can continue to be accessed. </P>
<P>Through the generous contributions of our benefactors we have been able to
offer many scholarships to doctoral students specializing in childhood language
disorders and to fund many grants to professionals for research and development
projects related to childhood language disorders. Moreover, we have assisted in
sponsoring a conference on Evidence-Based Practice and have made information
available on our website about Evidence-Based Practice as well as bibliographies
relevant to the topic. We could not have accomplished all this without the help
of so many colleagues who have given of their time and expertise in many ways
including reviewing applications and providing input to the Foundation. Our
thanks to those of you who have been so helpful and supportive. </P>
<P>Margaret Lahey, Ed.D.</P>

Foundation</P></FONT></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
