Naerum, DK December 17 – The Ida Institute is now accepting proposals for the 2020 Ida Research Grants. Established in 2016, Ida Research Grants award funding to projects that develop evidence related to Ida Institute initiatives and tools and aim to demonstrate the effects of person-centered care in hearing rehabilitation. Ida Institute has allocated funding to the value of $30,000 USD to be awarded to three projects in 2020, with a maximum of $10,000 USD per grant.
“As an independent, non-profit organization, the Ida Institute works to integrate person-centered practice in hearing care,” said Managing Director Lise Lotte Bundesen. “By providing funding for research into the effects of person-centered tools and methodologies in the field of hearing care, we hope to stimulate interest and support for the development of evidence in this important area of hearing rehabilitation.”
In 2020, Ida Institute is particularly interested in projects related to:
- Evaluation of the My Hearing Explained tool
