PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT OVERALL: CENTER FOR PERCEPTION AND COMMUNICATION IN CHILDREN The goal of Phase II of the Center for Perception and Communication in Children (CPCC), our Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) at the Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) in Omaha, Nebraska, is to expand the range of the current research program by providing a unique environment for the development of junior faculty who have an interest in identifying mechanisms and factors that influence children’s auditory and visual perception and communicative development. This focus reflects a critical need for translational, multi-disciplinary research investigating outcomes for children with communication disorders. Our goal is to continue to expand the scope of our research programs, ultimately becoming the national leader for research on speech, language, hearing, and cognitive development in children with communication disorders. Our approach for achieving this goal is to build and support independent, yet complementary, research programs that address (1) factors that influence speech, language, hearing, and cognitive development, (2) the impact of childhood hearing loss and developmental language disorders on speech, language, hearing, and cognitive functions in real-world environments, and (3) strategies to improve children’s speech, language, hearing, and cognitive outcomes. We will do this by developing and supporting a critical mass of NIH-funded research programs focused on issues related to perception and communication in children. We will also strengthen the research infrastructure available to Core Leads in Phase II, and extend the user base of these resources to include established CPCC investigators. The four initial projects in Phase II will investigate issues related to (1) cognitive mechanisms that facilitate speech understanding for listeners with cochlear implants, (2) differential diagnosis and outcomes for children with otitis media, (3) age effects in the perceptual and linguistic mechanisms that underlie auditory-visual speech enhancement, and (4) individual differences in the rehearsal strategies used by children to overcome working memory limitations. Research on these topics will be facilitated by three cores. Core A, the an Administrative Core, will coordinate interaction with an External Advisory Committee, an Administrative Advisory Committee, an internal Executive Committee, and research mentors. Core B, the Technology Core, will provide support for hardware and software development, data analysis, and room-acoustics issues. Core C, the Human Subjects Core, will collect clinical data, implement quality assurance procedures, and assist with selection and interpretation of clinical measures and recruitment of participants for research studies. The CPCC will continue to benefit from the combined research experience of the senior faculty who will serve as Core Leads and mentors, and from the unique patient resources and translational research environment at BTNRH.

项目摘要/摘要 总体：儿童感知与沟通中心 儿童感知与沟通中心（CPCC）的第二阶段的目标，我们的中心 奥马哈男孩镇国家研究医院（BTNRH）的生物医学研究卓越（COBRE）， 内布拉斯加州将通过为当前研究计划的范围扩展。 开发有兴趣识别影响的机制和因素的初级教师的发展 儿童的听觉，视觉感知和沟通发展。这个重点反映了批判性需求 用于转化，多学科研究，调查沟通障碍儿童的成果。 我们的目标是继续扩大我们的研究计划的范围，最终成为国家领导者 用于沟通儿童的语音，语言，听力和认知发展的研究 疾病。我们实现这一目标的方法是建立和支持独立，但完整， 解决（1）影响言语，语言，听力和认知的因素的研究计划 （2）儿童听力损失和发育语言障碍对言语的影响， 在现实世界环境中的语言，听力和认知功能，以及（3）改善儿童的策略 语音，语言，听力和认知结果。我们将通过开发和支持关键来做到这一点 大量由NIH资助的研究计划重点关注与儿童感知和沟通有关的问题。 我们还将加强第二阶段核心线索可用的研究基础设施，并扩展用户 这些资源的基础，包括既定的CPCC调查人员。 第二阶段中的四个初始项目将调查与（1）促进认知机制有关的问题 对耳蜗的听众的语音理解，（2）儿童的差异诊断和结果 使用中耳炎，（3）具有听觉 - 视觉的感知和语言机制的年龄影响 语音增强和（4）儿童用来克服的彩排策略的个体差异 工作记忆限制。这些主题的研究将由三个核心准备。核心A，AN 行政核心将与外部咨询委员会进行协调，行政 咨询委员会，内部执行委员会和研究导师。核心B，技术核心， 将为硬件和软件开发，数据分析和室内声学问题提供支持。核心C， 人类受试者核心将收集临床数据，实施质量保证程序，并协助 选择和解释临床测量以及参与者招募研究研究。 CPCC将继续受益于高级教职员工的合并研究经验 核心领导者和导师，以及独特的患者资源和转化研究环境 btnrh。
