项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Attracting clinicians to career paths in clinical and/or translational research has been an objective of the Central Institute for the Deaf (CID) and Washington University in St. Louis (WU) since they jointly established the first graduate training program in audiology in 1947. In the ensuing decades, more than 600 individuals have earned audiology degrees from this partnership, and all of them completed a research project as part of the process. The recent acquisition of the CID research, clinical, and educational programs by Washington University School of Medicine and their placement into the Department of Otolaryngology has further strengthened our hearing research, clinical practice, and academic programs. The newly-established clinical doctoral program in audiology (Au.D.). offered through the Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences (PACS) creates an expanded opportunity to enhance research training for future audiologists through its close affiliation with one of the nation's largest research-based Otolaryngology departments, and its new home in a highly-ranked, strongly supported School of Medicine that places a primary emphasis on training clinician-scientists, researchers, and leaders. The specific aim of the training grant is to expand opportunities for research training of audiologists who may be interested in research career paths. Intensive, full time, three month basic, clinical or translational research experiences will be offered to selected students who demonstrate competitively their talent, interest, and capability to work and learn in specialized research environments. Trainees will complete a research project under the supervision of one of more than three dozen funded scientists in laboratories conducting research that spans the scope of practice of clinical audiology: vestibular function and balance assessment, evaluation and treatment of age-related and noise-induced hearing loss, sensory cell regeneration and development, cochlear implants in children and adults, language acquisition and speech perception in children with hearing impairment, hearing aids, tinnitus, diseases of the middle and inner ear, aural rehabilitation, and the basic sciences underlying these practice areas. The research experiences offered through this program will help secure the scientific foundation of the profession, and to help instill a research mindset into all the audiologists who study at Washington University.

描述（由申请人提供）：吸引临床医生走上临床和/或翻译研究的职业道路，这是中央聋人研究所（CID）（CID）和圣路易斯华盛顿大学（WU）的目标，因为他们共同建立了1947年的第一个听力学研究生培训计划，1947年在1947年进行了数十年的研究。华盛顿大学医学院最近收购了CID研究，临床和教育计划，并将其安置到耳鼻喉科部，进一步增强了我们的听力研究，临床实践和学术课程。新成立的听力学临床博士学位课程（AU.D。）。通过听力学和传播科学计划（PACS）提供的提供的机会扩大了机会，通过与美国最大的基于研究的耳鼻喉科部门之一的密切相关，以增强未来听力学家的研究培训，并将其新的住所及其新的住所中的新住所置于高级，强有力的医学学院中，以培训培训培训培训临床医学培训临床学家 - 研究生，研究员，研究员，领导者和领导者，领导者和领导者。培训补助金的具体目的是扩大对可能对研究职业感兴趣的听力学家的研究培训的机会。将为选定的学生提供密集，全职，三个月的基本，临床或翻译研究经验，这些学生在专业的研究环境中表现出竞争性的才华，兴趣和能力。 Trainees will complete a research project under the supervision of one of more than three dozen funded scientists in laboratories conducting research that spans the scope of practice of clinical audiology: vestibular function and balance assessment, evaluation and treatment of age-related and noise-induced hearing loss, sensory cell regeneration and development, cochlear implants in children and adults, language acquisition and speech perception in children with hearing impairment, hearing aids,耳鸣，中耳和内耳的疾病，听觉康复以及这些实践领域的基本科学。通过该计划提供的研究经验将有助于确保该行业的科学基础，并帮助将研究心态灌输给华盛顿大学学习的所有听力学家。
