Clinical Features, Neuroimaging Correlates, and Underlying Pathology of Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech

This seminar will address neurodegenerative apraxia of speech and review the research that has defined its distinguishing features, other neurologic deficits that tend to emerge during its course, and its neuroimaging and histopathological correlates

Testing Theories: Using Intervention Research to Build a Theoretical Base for Evidence-based Practice

People think treatment research is just about finding a good method. It’s actually got more value — it can also be used to test theories. And that’s very important. The hardest part, I think is finding the interesting research question to begin with. It has to be of interest to...

Behind the Science, Intervention Research, Research Issues Methods and Evidence-Based Practice

Translating Basic Science Findings in Cochlear Implant Research into Clinical Practice

One of the cool things of my lab is that there are so many different people. There’s a good number of engineers, a good number of audiologists, but we also interact with people with a background in computational linguistics or physiology, sometimes basic physiologists. The name of my lab is...

Scaling Up for Systemic Change: Building Stakeholder Support for Implementation Research Projects

One of the reasons that you would want to go the implementation science route is that you are actually involving your stakeholders. The people who are going to actually have to do the innovation that you’ve developed, the evidence-based practice. You really are engaging with them from the beginning. I...

Implementation Science: Realities and Lessons Learned

Why Implementation Science? Implementation science could really inform how we, as a field, ensure that the work that we’re doing — the evidence-based practices we come up with — get put into use. I think we have great examples from other fields to draw from about how it can be...

Building a Consumer-Informed Research Program

Researchers can get started with community-based participatory research approaches by seeking out and incorporating the knowledge of clients into their research questions and study designs

Researchers can get started with community-based participatory research approaches by seeking out and incorporating the knowledge of clients into their research questions and study designs What is consumer-informed research? The traditional idea of research is that it’s investigator initiated. And so researchers, who may have differing levels of engagement in...
