At the National Aphasia Association, we believe that research plays a critical role in improving the lives of people with aphasia—and that everyone should be able to participate in that progress.
We’re proud to announce the launch of two upgraded features on our website:
- Post a Study
- Join a Study
These pages are designed with both researchers and research participants in mind. They reflect our commitment to making research more accessible, inclusive, and impactful—and to supporting the professionals who help move aphasia science forward.
Post a Study: Supporting Researchers, Amplifying Your Work
Are you a researcher looking to connect with people affected by aphasia? You can now submit your study through a streamlined online form. We welcome all kinds of projects—from clinical trials and academic theses to qualitative interviews, surveys, and community-based initiatives.
We also recognize that some researchers choose to post on ClinicalTrials.gov. That’s great! But if you’d like your study to be easier for people with aphasia and their families to find and understand, you’re encouraged to submit it to us as well.
Explore the new page or submit your study here: Post a Study
Join a Study: Empowering People with Aphasia to Participate
We’ve also rebuilt our Join a Study page from the ground up to make it more aphasia-friendly and user-centered. New features include:
- Easy filters to sort by study type
- Plain-language formatting
- A “Help Me Write an Email” tool for reaching out to researchers
- Ongoing updates with new study opportunities
Whether you’re interested in contributing your experience to research, or you’re a family member or caregiver supporting someone who might want to participate, this tool makes it easier to get involved.

A Long-Term Commitment to Accessible Research
This launch is just the beginning. We’re actively listening to the needs of researchers and our community—and building tools that reflect those needs. From NIH-funded clinical trials to grassroots storytelling projects, we want our site to be a trusted, central space for aphasia-related research.
Together, we can shape the future of aphasia care, one study at a time.
