DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Southern California (USC) and the House Research Institute (HRI) together have established a research training program for predoctoral, postdoctoral, and physician-scientist scholars: the USC/HRI Hearing and Communication Neuroscience (HCN) Training Program. The program brings together a broad spectrum of scientists to enhance inter-disciplinary communication, and offers the advantage of providing research training opportunities that bridge basic science with translational research and clinical hearing applications. The program serves to reinforce research and training interactions between scientists at HRI with scientists in the Dornsife College of Letters Arts & Sciences, the Keck School of Medicine, and the Viterbi School of Engineering at USC. The program combines the strengths of an outstanding group of researchers focused on basic aspects of hearing and vocal communication at both USC and HRI, the resources of USC graduate programs in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Linguistics, and the expertise in clinical otologic excellence of HRI. The rationale of this proposal is to engage predoctoral, postdoctoral, and physician- scientist trainees in a highly interactive and multi-disciplinary training experienc ranging from cell biology to cognitive neuroscience and linguistics that is unfettered by conventional departmental barriers, and actively facilitates their development as independent scientists. We have successfully filled all positions with predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars every year during the first four years of the grant. One of the postdoctoral scholars was a physician-scientist who also completed the House Neurotology Clinical Fellowship Program. Predoctoral trainees typically join the program during the second year of their graduate training, whereas the level of seniority of post-doctoral trainees participating in the program varies. All trainees receive multi-disciplinary training in all aspects of hearing and communication neuroscience, as well as practical skills that will prepare them for careers in independently-funded research, education, and industry. The ability to expose trainees directly to both cutting-edge research in basic science as well as ongoing clinical research and applications is a major strength of the program.

描述（由申请人提供）：南加州大学 (USC) 和众议院研究所 (HRI) 共同为博士前、博士后和医师科学家学者建立了一个研究培训计划：USC/HRI 听力和交流神经科学 (USC/HRI Hearing and Communication Neuroscience) HCN）培训计划。该项目汇集了广泛的科学家，以加强跨学科交流，并提供了提供研究培训机会的优势，将基础科学与转化研究和临床听力应用联系起来。该项目旨在加强 HRI 科学家与南加州大学多恩西夫文理学院、凯克医学院和维特比工程学院科学家之间的研究和培训互动。该项目结合了南加州大学和 HRI 专注于听力和声音交流基本方面的杰出研究人员团队的优势，南加州大学神经科学、心理学和语言学研究生项目的资源，以及 HRI 临床耳科卓越的专业知识。该提案的基本原理是让博士前、博士后和医师科学家学员不受传统部门障碍的束缚，参与从细胞生物学到认知神经科学和语言学的高度互动和多学科的培训体验，并积极促进他们的发展独立科学家。在资助的前四年里，我们每年都成功地用博士前和博士后学者填补了所有职位。其中一位博士后学者是一位医师科学家，还完成了众议院神经耳科临床奖学金计划。博士前培训生通常在研究生培训的第二年加入该计划，而参与该计划的博士后培训生的资历水平各不相同。所有学员都接受听力和交流神经科学各个方面的多学科培训，以及实践技能，为他们在独立资助的研究、教育和工业领域的职业生涯做好准备。能够让学员直接接触基础科学的前沿研究以及正在进行的临床研究和应用是该项目的主要优势。
