DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant): The University of Washington (UW) has a long-standing history of commitment to research in the areas of hearing, speech and language studies, and communication disorders. In addition, it has an outstanding interdisciplinary community of investigators in all of the subdisciplines of basic neuroscience. At the intersection of these communities is a diverse and highly productive group of investigators who study the fundamental neural mechanisms that underlie hearing and communication. One important mission of the auditory neuroscience community at UW is to mentor the trainees who will carry on this line of research and advance our knowledge of the field in the future. Although UW currently has training programs in Otolaryngology and Speech and Hearing Sciences, both of these are aimed primarily at training clinically oriented researchers. The proposed establishment of an Auditory Neuroscience Training Program would complement the two existing programs and help train the basic neuroscience researchers whose work will form the foundation for research in the clinical disciplines. The proposed training experience at UW will include both pre- and postdoctoral training, but will emphasize predoctoral training since this is the area in which strong support during the early stages of training is most crucial. Trainees will have the opportunity to participate in active research programs in neuroanatomy, development, genetics, cell and molecular biology, neuropharmacology, and electrophysiology of the peripheral and central auditory system as well as psychoacoustics, language perception and processing, and communication behavior, and to combine research in more than one area through collaborative efforts. Program trainees will be exposed to a wide range of research techniques, enabling them to conduct technologically and conceptually sophisticated programs of research. Importantly, the support provided by the proposed training program should greatly enhance the ability of the UW to attract and retain high-caliber minority trainees in auditory neuroscience.

描述：（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学（UW）有一个 在听证领域，言语领域对研究承诺的长期历史 以及语言研究和沟通障碍。此外，它有一个 杰出的调查人员跨学科社区 基本神经科学的子学科。在这些社区的交汇处 是一个研究人员的多样化和高产的研究人员 基于听力和沟通的基本神经机制。一 UW听觉神经科学界的重要任务是指导 将继续进行这一研究并提高我们对 未来的领域。尽管UW目前有培训计划 耳鼻喉科，言语和听力科学，这两个都是针对的 主要是在培训临床导向的研究人员中。提议 建立听觉神经科学培训计划将补充 两个现有程序，并帮助培训基本的神经科学研究人员 工作将构成临床学科研究的基础。这 UW的拟议培训经验将包括前和博士后 训练，但会强调培训前培训，因为这是 在培训的早期阶段，最重要的支持是最重要的。 学员将有机会参加主动研究计划 神经解剖学，发育，遗传学，细胞和分子生物学， 周围和中央听觉的神经药理学和电生理学 系统以及心理声学，语言感知和处理以及 沟通行为，并通过多个领域的研究结合 协作努力。计划学员将暴露于 研究技术，使他们能够在技术上和概念上进行 复杂的研究计划。重要的是，由 拟议的培训计划应大大提高UW的能力 吸引并保留了听觉神经科学中的高质量少数学员。
