Stephen Bailey was the recent recipient of a competitive NIH pre-doctoral fellowship. The grant supports his work in the lab investigating the nature of the brain networks critical for reading comprehension. The goal of this research is to fill in gaps in our understanding of how brain networks are related to aspects of reading comprehension, especially in young readers. His proposed research will also examine to what extent these networks can be used to predict growth in reading skill over time, improving our understanding of the utility of prognostic neuroimaging in school-aged children.
