In 1999, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation launched its first-ever capital campaign with one vision: To build a future in the new century where the dreams and possibilities of 49 million children and adults in America with communication disorders can come true.

The goal of the Dreams and Possibilities Campaign is to raise $2 million, with $1 million set aside specifically to support the education of strong doctoral candidates, equipping them for future academic leadership in the field of communication sciences and disorders. The other $1 million will support promising new or senior investigators to stimulate innovative research.

The success of this campaign will:

• Accelerate the pace of funded research.
  
• Encourage talented doctoral students to pursue teacher-investigator careers.
  
• Help new investigators explore innovative approaches to assessment and treatment.
  
• Enable senior investigators to conduct research in areas of greatest need.
  
• Stimulate partnerships to increase technology solutions.
  
• Invest in the future of the professions by seeding a strong research base.
  
• Ensure that individuals with communication disorders can reach their full potential.
