Abstract. There is limited evidence of stakeholder involvement in setting priorities for stuttering and cluttering research. This paper will briefly summarize survey results gathered pre-Congress asking major stakeholders to detail their highest priority research questions, and use these data as a starting point to encourage interaction between researchers and consumers in setting priorities that can encourage funded research and advocacy efforts most meaningful to people who stutter (PWS) and families.
