RESEARCH
RCALL faculty’s collective efforts have earned more than 40 million dollars in external grant funding just since 2017.
Research Areas
The vision of RCALL is to integrate and expand Georgia State’s many individual language and literacy research endeavors, thereby building a more unified and strongly interdisciplinary program that can achieve an unparalleled national and international reputation for excellence.
We believe that as an institution, Georgia State is uniquely well-positioned for this level of achievement through its existing strengths across a range of critical areas in language and literacy, as evidenced by the increases in the number of faculty working in language and literacy-related fields, their success procuring external research funds and the formation and maturation of research partnerships at both individual and organizational levels within the university as well as between university groups and external entities.
Faculty Seed Grants
Affiliated faculty are supported through internal seed funding, graduate fellowships and undergraduate assistantships to enhance independent research labs and externally funded projects.
Centers We Collaborate With
Our affiliated faculty conducts interdisciplinary research through external grants and partnerships with peer universities, federal agencies, and private agencies. We work closely with the following centers to support inventive research methodologies across related disciplines.
Center for Advanced Brain Imaging (CABI)
A 6,000-square-foot research facility in midtown Atlanta, jointly operated by Georgia State University and Georgia Institute of Technology, provides academic researchers with access to MRI facilities for studies on topics such as autism, learning disabilities, and brain-computer interfaces.
Center on Literacy and Deafness
Center on Literacy and Deafness was a Special Education Research and Development Center on Reading Instruction for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students funded by the Institute of Education Sciences in 2012 via Grant R24C120001. *Expired grant 2012 - 2019
Adult Literacy Research Center
The center connects theory with practical applications by conducting interdisciplinary research, providing professional development and establishing community partnerships to address the challenges and opportunities for adults with low literacy skills.
The Center for Research on Atypical Development & Learning
CRADL and its faculty coordinate and support scholarly efforts to understand atypical development and learning processes from birth through adolescence.
Language Research Center
LRC scientists conduct noninvasive social, cognitive and behavioral research with rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella), and human adults and children (Homo sapiens).
Urban Child Study Center
UCSC is a research center focused on promoting the development and academic success of children and youth in urban areas. Their innovative research informs policy and practice and leverages university resources to support children, families, schools, and communities.
The Regents Center for Learning Disorders
