Fourth International Nijmegen Speech Motor Conference

这项提案要求为2001年7月在荷兰奈梅亨举行的关于运动语言障碍和流利性的研究会议提供部分资金。计划中的会议将集中在语音产生方面的最新模型和研究结果，这些模型和研究结果与语音的神经组织、语音运动控制和语音产生中的障碍有关。这次会议将是第四届国际奈梅亨语音马达大会。它的前身分别于1985年、1990年和1996年举行。会议之间的间隔大约为五年，这确保了有许多新的信息可供介绍，并提供了一个极好的机会来综合这一时期的研究成果。早期会议上发表的会议记录是里程碑式的出版物，记录了对语言运动控制的理解进展，重点是流利性障碍。历次会议的平均出席人数约为115人，其中来自美国的科学家是最大的国家代表。这项提案寻求为来自美国的科学家提供旅行支持，包括特邀演讲者和来自代表性不足的少数民族的科学家。

This proposal requests partial funding for a research conference on motor speech disorders and fluency to be held in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in July 2001. The planned conference will focus on recent models and research findings in speech production as related to the neural organization of speech, speech motor control, and disorders in speech production. This conference would be the Fourth International Nijmegen Speech Motor Conference. Its predecessors were held in 1985, 1990, and 1996. The approximately five-year intervals between conferences insures that much new information is available for presentation and that there is an excellent opportunity to synthesis research findings over the period. The published proceedings from the earlier conferences have been landmark publications that record progress in the understanding of speech motor control with an emphasis on fluency disorders. Attendance at previous conferences has averaged about 115, with scientists from the U.S.A. being the largest national representation. This proposal seeks travel support for scientists from the U.S.A., including invited speakers and scientists from under represented minorities.
