DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Research Training Program is proposed to provide experience in auditory and vestibular research to predoctoral students who are enrolled in clinically based audiology degree (Au.D.) programs at Vanderbilt University and other institutions. The long-term goal is to develop interest in pursuing a career in hearing research. This objective addresses current concern about decreasing numbers of students with background and interest in audiology pursuing research careers in hearing science. Short-term full-time research support is requested for six predoctoral (Au.D.) students per year for each of the five years of the grant. Trainees will have opportunities to obtain research experience in the research laboratories of thirteen preceptors in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at Vanderbilt University. Each trainee will work primarily in one laboratory on a specific project, but will also have opportunities to learn about research in other research laboratories through visits to labs, journal meetings, lectures, and interaction with trainees and students in those labs. Trainees will meet regularly as a group to receive formal instruction related to responsible conduct in research and to discuss research experiences. Areas of research in the laboratories at Vanderbilt span basic science and translational research in animal and human subjects and address topics including cochlear and neural physiology in development and aging, hereditary hearing loss, spatial localization, motion perception, directional hearing and amplification, pediatric audiology, speech recognition in noise, cochlear implants, vestibular function, auditory neural and multisensory cortical function in humans and animal models, and cortical function in stuttering. The full-time research traineeship will allow a student to experience aspects of developing a research study, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting the results of their research in informal and formal environments. Strengths of the proposed traineeship program are the standing of the Vanderbilt Au.D. program in the academic community, the high caliber of the students, preceptors who teach in and are familiar with the Vanderbilt Au.D. program and background of Au.D. students, the variety of research programs, and the commitment of the faculty and institution demonstrated by activities to maximize the benefit of the NIH-NIDCD supported research training. The research environment is excellent with state-of-the-art laboratories and numerous interdisciplinary collaborations. Trainees will complete their short-term experience by submitting their research for presentation at a national meeting that emphasizes science and participating in publication of the research. Researchers with clinical backgrounds who develop research skills and careers are well suited to identify and solve public health problems. The proposed program will provide a focused research experience for students training in clinical audiology with the goal of developing interest in pursuing a research career i hearing and/or vestibular science. This will benefit society by insuring a strong future for research related to hearing health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Researchers with clinical backgrounds who develop research skills and careers are well suited to identify and solve public health problems. The proposed short-term research training program will provide a focused research experience for clinical audiology students with the goal of developing interest in pursuing a research career focused on hearing and/or balance. This will benefit society by insuring a strong future for research related to hearing health.

描述（由申请人提供）：提出了一项研究培训计划，旨在为范德比尔特大学和其他机构的临床听力学学位（AU.D.）计划（AU.D.）计划提供听觉和前庭研究经验。长期目标是发展从事听力研究职业的兴趣。该目标解决了当前对减少具有听力学兴趣的学生人数减少从事听力科学领域的研究职业的关注。赠款的五年中的每一年，要求每年为六名六名学生（AU.D.）提供短期全日制研究支持。学员将有机会在范德比尔特大学的听力和言论科学系的13个受体研究实验室中获得研究经验。每个学员将主要在一个实验室中在一个特定项目中工作， 但是，还将有机会通过访问实验室，期刊会议，讲座以及与这些实验室中的学员和学生的互动来了解其他研究实验室的研究。学员将定期开会，以接受与负责任的研究和讨论研究经验有关的正式指导。范德比尔特实验室的研究领域涵盖了基础科学和动物和人类受试者的转化研究，并涉及包括人工耳蜗和神经生理学的发展和衰老，遗传性听力丧失，空间定位，运动感知，方向性听力，方向性听力，放大和放大，儿科听觉学，噪音和杂物型，杂物，听觉植入式，听众的功能，杂物，听觉植入，听觉植入，听觉植入，听众，听觉，听觉植入，听众，听众，听众，听觉，听觉，听觉植入了，听众的效果，听觉植入了，并口吃中的皮质功能。全日制研究实习生将使学生能够体验开发研究，收集和分析数据以及在非正式和正式环境中研究结果的方面。拟议的实习计划的优势是Vanderbilt Au.D.的地位。学术界的课程，高素质的学生，教学并熟悉Vanderbilt au.d. AU.D.的程序和背景活动，各种研究计划以及教职员工和机构的承诺，通过活动最大程度地提高了NIH-NIDCD支持研究培训的好处。研究环境非常适合最先进的实验室和众多跨学科合作。学员将在强调科学并参与研究发表的全国会议上提交研究来完成他们的短期经验。具有临床背景的研究人员培养研究技能和职业非常适合识别和解决公共卫生问题。拟议的计划将为临床听力学培训的学生提供一项重点的研究经验，目的是培养有兴趣从事研究职业我的听力和/或前庭科学。这将通过确保与听力健康有关的研究的良好未来来使社会受益。 公共卫生相关性：具有临床背景的研究人员发展研究技能和职业非常适合识别和解决公共卫生问题。拟议的短期研究培训计划将为临床听力学专业的学生提供专注的研究经验，目的是发展兴趣追求专注于听力和/或平衡的研究职业。这将通过确保与听力健康有关的研究的良好未来来使社会受益。
