项目摘要

This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award establishes a unique interdisciplinary training program that prepares Ph.D. scientists from cognitive (linguistics, psychology, communication disorders) and biological fields (molecular genetics, behavior genetics, neuroscience) to achieve a unified cognitive-biological understanding of human language development. Innovations from this approach will address societal challenges in education, technology, and health. Intellectual Merit: A full understanding of human language ? including genetic, neural, cognitive and environmental influences that shape language development and recovery from brain injury ? requires linking a vast array of biological and cognitive sciences. Conventional approaches to graduate training produce cognitive and biological language scientists with little technical overlap ? a barrier to communication. Trainees will develop expertise in their home domains and rigorous interdisciplinary training, providing broad and deep knowledge of theories and methods of other domains to communicate, collaborate and innovate in multidisciplinary teams. The training program uses a team-based model, in an environment designed to foster creativity and innovation ? along with integrated coursework and training in how to translate that research to educational, technological, and health applications.Broader Impacts: This IGERT award will prepare a new generation of leaders to conduct (and train others to conduct) the team-based basic and applied research needed to achieve a unified biological-cognitive science of language. Key components include: training to communicate with educators, policy makers and the public in innovative ways that address societal challenges in technology and education; comprehensive efforts to increase participation among historically underrepresented groups in science; and preparing trainees for the increasingly international scientific community through on-site and internet-based opportunities to connect with leading cognitive and biological centers of language research around the world.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to establish new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, and to engage students in understanding the processes by which research is translated to innovations for societal benefit.

这个综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖建立了一个独特的跨学科培训计划，为来自认知（语言学、心理学、沟通障碍）和生物领域（分子遗传学、行为遗传学、神经科学）的博士科学家提供准备，以实现对人类语言发展的统一认知生物学理解。这种方法的创新将解决教育、技术和健康方面的社会挑战。智力优势：对人类语言的全面理解？包括基因、神经、认知和环境对语言发展和脑损伤恢复的影响？需要将大量的生物和认知科学联系起来。传统的研究生培训方法培养了很少有技术重叠的认知和生物语言科学家？沟通的障碍。学员将在自己的专业领域和严格的跨学科培训中发展专业知识，提供广泛而深入的理论知识和其他领域的方法，以便在多学科团队中进行沟通，合作和创新。培训项目采用团队为基础的模式，在一个旨在培养创造力和创新的环境中进行。以及如何将研究转化为教育、技术和健康应用的综合课程和培训。更广泛的影响：这项IGERT奖将培养新一代领导者进行（并培训其他人进行）以团队为基础的基础和应用研究，以实现统一的语言生物认知科学。主要内容包括：培训以创新的方式与教育工作者、政策制定者和公众沟通，以应对技术和教育方面的社会挑战；全面努力增加历史上代表性不足的群体对科学的参与；并通过现场和基于互联网的机会与世界各地领先的语言研究认知和生物中心建立联系，为日益国际化的科学界做好准备。IGERT是一项nsf范围内的计划，旨在满足教育美国博士科学家和工程师的挑战，他们具有跨学科背景，所选学科的深厚知识，以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该项目旨在建立研究生教育和培训的新模式，在一个超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，让学生了解研究转化为社会效益创新的过程。
