Recipients for 2021
“Receiving this award alongside my esteemed colleagues led to the creation of the Implementation Science and Aphasia working group within the Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists. For the past three years, international researchers and clinicians have collaborated to better integrate research into practice. I am deeply grateful to the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia for making this unique opportunity possible.” Dr Natalie Douglas, Central Michigan University
I was deeply honoured to receive the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia Distinguished Scholar Award, which has opened meaningful opportunities for me to take my LPAA-focused research program to a new level. First, this award provided me with timely motivation to continue focusing my research agenda on LPAA-centric questions. Second, this award validated the heavy involvement and training of students as an integral part of my research. Third, this award connected me with the Collaboration for Aphasia Trialists (CATs), which has provided international network and learning opportunities. Dr Tyson Harmon, Brigham Young University
Dr Marion Leaman, University of Kansas Medical Center
“As a translational scientist who is not a clinician, it was validating for me to be inducted into this esteemed group of clinical, translational, and basic researchers. I greatly appreciated the chance to share my research on the Aphasia Access podcast. Through this award, I have also been contacted by new members of the aphasia research community, and it has been a pleasure to network with the impressive up-and-coming cohort of aphasiologists.” Dr Brielle Stark, Indiana University Bloomington
