The DLD Project Foundation has established a Research Subcommittee to oversee and facilitate research that has the potential to benefit people with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), their families, and key stakeholders (e.g., teachers, allied health professionals etc.) in accordance with our policies and procedures.

The Research Subcommittee has four core objectives:

1. Providing strategic advice to the Board on the implementation, delivery and development of research undertaken by the organisation, and/or with external research partners;
2. Advising and assisting with prioritising research endorsed by TDPF;
3. Working in partnership with external parties on mutually beneficial projects;
4. Assisting with the translation of research into practice, and informing the wider community of planned and current research being undertaken.

The Research Subcommittee acts in a consultative and advisory capacity between TDPF and external researchers (affiliates) who have an interest in undertaking research in DLD, and to ensure that all research is conducted in a scientifically robust manner.
