Abstract
This chapter maps out pathways to develop research from pilot stages and smaller scale projects such as those initiated by single practitioners or small teams through to longer term research programme development. An example of the development of a particular research programme in the area of stuttering is provided by way of illustration of the ways in which research can develop from small beginnings to a long-term programme which can contribute to the field of communication disorders. While small-scale projects may be conducted with only limited resources, longer term and large-scale programmes of research need substantial and continuing support, and so this chapter introduces some of the steps in obtaining funding to support such developments.
