First UT Dallas Callier Prize Announced - Call for Nominations

The UT Dallas/Callier Center announces the newly established academic and scientific award, The Callier Prize in Communication Disorders. The prize, which will include a $10,000 cash award, will be given annually to an individual selected by an ad hoc committee who has shown outstanding contributions to the fields of audiology, speech pathology or language pathology.

As one of the leading facilities in the country in the advancement of knowledge and treatment for hearing, speech and language disorders, the Callier Center administration is establishing the prize to recognize and reward individuals for their leadership in fostering scientific advances and showing significant developments in the diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders. UT Dallas’ School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Dean Bert Moore and The Callier Center Executive Director, Dr. Tom Campbell, will oversee the process of establishing and awarding the prize.

The prize will be awarded alternately to individuals in the fields of hearing, speech and language, with the recipient of the first award prize to be in the area of audiology/hearing science. Drs. Campbell and Moore have appointed Dr. Ross Roeser to chair the first Callier Prize committee. An ad hoc committee is currently being appointed to select the first recipient.

The prize winner will be honored during a conference planned and hosted by the Foundation for the Callier Center for Communication Disorders in Spring 2009.

Invitations to the conference will be extended to local, state, national and international leaders in audiology/hearing science; public officials; philanthropic supporters; community leaders; and university officials.
