The purpose of the Culturally SMART Fellowship is to increase cultural competence in communication sciences & disorders clinical research and to provide hands-on research experience in multicultural issues to historically underrepresented students via representative mentorship.  Fellows worked on a study examining the impact of COVID -19, language, and posttraumatic stress on Spanish-speaking bilinguals.
