Research Areas

Our research laboratories, developed and supervised by department faculty, offer students cutting-edge training opportunities in basic, applied, and translational research topics in communication sciences and disorders. You can choose a research focus in normal and/or disordered aspects of speech, language, and hearing.

Most of our laboratories are supported by competitive grants awarded by extramural funding agencies, especially the National Institutes of Health. Labs are located across campus, including:

• Goodnight Hall;
• The Waisman Center, an NIH-funded interdisciplinary research center where many faculty conduct their research programs;
• UW Hospital and Clinics;
• The Medical Sciences Center; and
• Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research
