Bamford-Lahey Children's Foundation Is Not Accepting New Applications

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. 

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. 

Margaret Lahey, Ed.D.

President, Bamford-Lahey Children's Foundation
