The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) announces a competitive
Grant Award Program to support research projects involving the study of
issues related to developmental dyslexia. The Grant Program is designed
to provide up to $15,000 for one year for new or ongoing educational,
medical, and cognitive science research projects. Studies on humans or
experimental models (animal, computer, etc.) are eligible. The main
criteria for the awards are the excellence of the proposals and their
potential enhancement of theories, research, and applications related to
dyslexia.
In addition, IDA announces a competitive Call for Proposals. This
Special Grant Award is for up to $10,000 for one year to support a
research project study involving issues related to atypical talents,
special cognitive skills, or giftedness in people with dyslexia. This
special award is offered this year only, in addition to IDA's standard
Grant Award Program. The special award has its own research criteria
that must be met. Submissions may not be considered for both awards
simultaneously.
The deadline for applications is March 15, 1999.
