DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR) hosts biennial conferences to bring together clinicians and researchers who discuss and learn about clinical issues associated with improvement of rehabilitation for hearing-impaired individuals. This application requests funding for the 5th biennial NCRAR conference "Expanding our Horizons: Medical Conditions and Audiology." The meeting will take place on October 13th and 14th, 2011 in Portland, OR. Like previous NCRAR conferences, this conference aims to facilitate the rehabilitation of auditory impairment through the translation of basic research findings into clinical practice. The objective of this particular conference is to expand knowledge and understanding of the interactions between the auditory system and other medical conditions, and how these impact auditory intervention and rehabilitation. The conditions to be examined are hormonal imbalances, genetic mutations, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases, drug abuse, stroke, dementia and psychosis. These common conditions have impacts from the peripheral to the central auditory system. The conference team comprises a Chairperson, a Program Chair, a Program Committee and a Conference Coordinator. There will be eight formal presentations over the two days of the meeting (October 13th and 14th 2011), an opening reception and keynote address the evening of October 12th, a poster session on October 13th, and a panel discussion at the end of the meeting that will tie together all concepts addressed over the prior two days. The anticipated audience will be a combination of auditory scientists, clinical audiologists, speech pathologists, ENT physicians and graduate students. To cover the cost of attendance up to five scholarships will be awarded to practicing clinicians, and five will be awarded to students enrolled in doctoral program (Au.D. or Ph.D.); at least one scholarship will be awarded to a minority applicant. The meeting will be publicized via national and local audiology e-mail lists, through audiology training programs and audiological/hearing science meetings and publications. Conference proceedings will be published in a peer-reviewed audiology journal, video recordings of the sessions will be broadcast via the VA Employee Education System, and DVD recordings of the meeting will be loaned on request. Ratings of past NCRAR conferences show almost 90% of participants found the content, format, presenters and locations to be "favorable" or "extremely favorable." The NCRAR conferences bring together clinicians and scientists to mutual benefit. Clinicians learn about basic and applied research necessary for development of data-driven clinical protocols, while members of the scientific community gain insights into practical issues associated with patient care. This two-way conversation about the complex interactions between the auditory systems and other systems in the body will facilitate translational research that can provide future solutions for patient care. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The purpose of this grant is to supplement funding of the 5th biennial conference to be hosted by the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research in Portland, Oregon on October 13th and 14th, 2011 titled "Expanding our Horizons: Medical Conditions and Audiology". The conference will increase knowledge and understanding of ways in which medical conditions, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis and dementia affect the auditory system, and ways in which auditory interventions and rehabilitation may, as a result, be impacted or adapted.

描述（由申请人提供）：国家康复研究中心（NCRAR）举办了双年展会议，将临床医生和研究人员汇集在一起​​，他们讨论和了解与改善听力受损个人的康复相关的临床问题。该申请要求第五届双年展NCRAR会议的资金“扩大我们的视野：医疗状况和听力学”。会议将于2011年10月13日至14日在俄勒冈州波特兰举行。像以前的NCRAR会议一样，这次会议旨在通过将基础研究发现转化为临床实践来促进听觉障碍的康复。这次会议的目的是扩大对听觉系统与其他医疗状况之间相互作用的知识和理解，以及这些如何影响听觉干预和康复。要检查的条件是激素失衡，基因突变，多发性硬化症，自身免疫性疾病，药物滥用，中风，痴呆和精神病。这些常见条件从外围到中央听觉系统产生影响。会议团队由主席，计划主席，计划委员会和会议协调员组成。会议的两天（2011年10月13日和14日）将在10月12日晚上举行八次正式演讲，开幕式和主题演讲将于10月12日晚上，10月13日的海报会议，以及会议结束时的小组讨论，将在前两天结合所有概念。预期的受众将是听觉科学家，临床听力学家，言语病理学家，ENT医生和研究生的结合。为了支付出勤费用，最多将授予执业临床医生的奖学金，并将授予参加博士课程的学生（AU.D.或Ph.D.）的5个奖学金；至少一项奖学金将授予少数民族申请人。会议将通过国家和地方听力学的电子邮件列表，听力学培训计划以及听力学/听力科学会议和出版物宣传。会议程序将在经过同行评审的听力学杂志上发布，会议的视频记录将通过VA员工教育系统播放，并且会议的DVD记录将根据要求借鉴。过去的NCRAR会议的评分显示，几乎90％的参与者发现内容，格式，演示者和位置是“有利的”或“极为有利的”。 NCRAR会议将临床医生和科学家聚集在一起，以相互利益。临床医生了解开发数据驱动的临床方案所必需的基础和应用研究，而科学界的成员则可以深入了解与患者护理相关的实际问题。关于听觉系统与人体其他系统之间复杂相互作用的这一双向对话将有助于转化研究，以提供未来的患者护理解决方案。 公共卫生相关性：这笔赠款的目的是补充第五届双年展会议的资金，该会议将于2011年10月13日和14日在俄勒冈州波特兰的国家康复式听觉研究中心主持，标题为“扩大我们的视野：医疗条件和听力学”。会议将增加对糖尿病，多发性硬化症和痴呆等医疗状况的方式的知识和理解，影响听觉系统，以及听觉干预和康复的方式，从而受到影响或适应。
