About the STAMMA Research Panel

Research into stammering is constantly updating and changing. Researchers regularly contact STAMMA asking us to promote their research projects. We want to make sure that any research we support is well evidenced, meaningful and benefits the stammering community. Our research committee meet throughout the year to review current research into stammering. The committee:

• critically review research about stammering and try to explain the key information or messages as accessibly as possible.
• advise staff on how to measure the impact of STAMMA's campaigns.
• review studies people want us to promote to make sure that these meet our criteria. 
• highlight new research which might be of value or interest to our members.

Our committee is made up of trustees, ex-trustees and staff at STAMMA. All members have experience in delivering or reviewing research and many are also people who stammer.
