Inaugural year

The Martin Nunn Trust is in its inaugural year. We are excited to announce our first prize winner soon, following the completion of the selection process for eligible research projects at The University of Auckland.

This page will be updated to feature our prize recipients, their research projects, and the meaningful contributions they are making to improve the lives of people with acquired communication difficulties.

What to expect

When prize winners are announced, you'll find information here about:

  • The winning research projects and their key findings
  • How the research addresses the lived experiences of people with acquired communication difficulties
  • The practical implications of the research for speech-language therapists and related professionals
  • The innovative approaches used to include the voices of people with communication difficulties

The legacy of research

Each year, the Martin Nunn Prize will recognise students whose research demonstrates excellence in exploring the 'whole of life' aspects of acquired communication difficulties. Through their work, these researchers help advance therapies, improve support systems, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for individuals and families affected by these conditions.

We are committed to celebrating these important contributions and sharing the insights gained from this valuable research with the broader community.
