# Society for the Neurobiology of Language Annual Meeting

> **NIH NIH R13** · UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS DALLAS · 2024 · $40,000

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
 The primary goal of this application is to promote research and training in the neurobiology of speech
and language via support for an annual scientific conference, the Annual Meeting of the Society for the
Neurobiology of Language (SNL). SNL fills a much needed gap in scientific meetings on the neurobiological
basis of language by emphasizing the strongest work on the integration of neuroscience research and
communication disorders with cognitive, linguistic, psycholinguistic, perceptual, and motor control models of
speech and language. In this proposal, we aim (1) to support an annual meeting on the Neurobiology of
Language, providing a forum for the interaction of researchers in the full range of allied areas including (a)
basic scientific fields of neuroscience, genetics, psychology, linguistics, mathematics, computation, and
physics; and (b) clinical scientific fields of neurology, neurosurgery, speech/language pathology, and
psychiatry; (2) to expand the breadth of knowledge of researchers in the field by bringing in distinguished
keynote speakers in both general neuroscience and language neuroscience; (3) to advance training and
education in the neurobiology of language by awarding travel and registration scholarships to students and
postdoctoral fellows, and by holding special trainee workshops; and (4) to promote diversity in the field by
providing scholarships for conference attendance to members of groups that are under-represented in the
relevant disciplines, providing childcare services, and supporting translation services for hearing impaired
participants. Because the SNL meeting brings together a broad range of active scientists, clinicians, and
students who do not normally interact regularly, we believe these meetings will lead to valuable new
interactions, collaborations, and novel ideas in the neurobiology of language, including both basic scientific
findings and clinical applications in physiologically-based therapies for neurogenic language disorders.
