The Queensland Registration Board Legacy Fund Research Grant Scheme is one of four schemes, funded from the legacy funds remaining at the closure of The Registration Board of Queensland, in 2013. This scheme is open to all speech pathologists residing and/or practising in Queensland. The Queensland Registration Board Legacy Fund Research Grant is to support research into communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan. Research may focus on aspects of assessment, intervention or broader issues concerned with clinical practice as a speech pathologist. The outcomes of the research will enhance the clinical practice of speech pathologists working in Queensland, and with the capacity of generalisation more broadly to the worldwide speech pathology community. In 2015, funds are available to support two research grants within the Queensland Registration Board Legacy Fund, each grant up to a maximum of $10,000. Further information, including the application form and closing dates, are available from the SPA website . Queensland Registration Board Legacy Fund Research Grant Scheme
