DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests 5 years of support for a Research Symposium in Clinical Aphasiology, to be held within the annual Clinical Aphasiology Conference (CAC). Aphasiology is the study of "aphasia," a potentially-devastating difficulty with understanding and producing language that results from brain damage. The CAC is the only scientific meeting dedicated to research with clear implications for clinical assessment and treatment of aphasia and related disorders. About 100 participants attend CAC each year, each earning an invitation by submitting an abstract of a completed research project. Participants include speech-language pathologists, linguists, psycholinguists, and neurologists who represent the world's foremost investigators of clinically- relevant issues. The goals of the Research Symposium are to contribute to: (1) the vitality of ongoing research in clinical aphasiology, via a coordinated set of keynote and topically-related platform presentations and commentary; and (2) the development of new investigators, particularly students from traditionally underrepresented minority/ethnic groups. The bulk of the proposed budget is to support travel expenses for 15 student fellows. These student fellows will receive practice in presenting and discussing their own research, and will participate in several specially designed mentoring opportunities. The 2011 CAC (and Research Symposium) is scheduled for May 31 - June 4 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Invited speakers will present their most current work on the topic of "Primary progressive aphasia," a relatively rare form of aphasia that degenerates over time. The 2012 meeting will be held on approximately the same dates in Lake Tahoe, California, with a potential topic of "Innovative methods of language investigation and treatment." Potential topics for subsequent years include "Treatment and pharmacological intervention," "Blast Injury/traumatic brain injury," "Effects of intensive treatment delivery," and "Genetics and recovery."

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求在年度临床失语学会议（CAC）举行的临床失语学研究研讨会5年。失语症是对“失语症”的研究，这是一种潜在的避免的困难，在理解和产生脑损伤导致的语言方面存在困难。 CAC是唯一致力于研究的科学会议，对临床评估和治疗失语症和相关疾病具有明显影响。每年约有100名参与者参加CAC，每个参与者都通过提交完整的研究项目摘要来获得邀请。参与者包括言语病理学家，语言学家，心理语言学家和神经科医生，他们代表了世界上最重要的临床相关问题的研究者。研究研讨会的目标是为：（1）通过协调的主题演讲和与局部相关的平台演示和评论的临床失语学研究的活力； （2）新调查人员的发展，特别是来自传统代表性不足的少数民族/族裔的学生。拟议预算的大部分是为15名学生研究员提供差旅费。这些学生研究员将获得练习和讨论自己的研究，并将参与一些专门设计的指导机会。 2011年CAC（和研究研讨会）定于5月31日至6月4日在佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡举行。受邀演讲者将介绍他们关于“初级进步失语症”主题的最新作品，这是一种随着时间的流逝而退化的相对罕见的失语症形式。 2012年的会议将在加利福尼亚州太浩湖的大致相同日期举行，其中潜在的主题是“语言调查和治疗方法”。随后几年的潜在主题包括“治疗和药理学干预”，“爆炸损伤/创伤性脑损伤”，“强化治疗的影响”以及“遗传学和恢复”。
