Fourth International Nijmegen Speech Motor Conference

这项提案要求为定于2001年7月在荷兰奈梅亨举行的关于运动性语言障碍和流畅性的研究会议提供部分资金。计划中的会议将集中讨论与言语神经组织、言语运动控制和言语产生障碍有关的言语产生的最新模型和研究成果。本次会议将是第四届国际奈梅亨语音电机会议。它的前身是1985年，1990年和1996年举行的。两次会议之间大约间隔五年，这确保了有许多新的信息可供介绍，并有一个极好的机会综合这一期间的研究成果。早期会议的出版论文集是里程碑式的出版物，记录了对语言运动控制的理解，重点是流畅性障碍。出席以往会议的平均人数约为115人，其中来自美国的科学家人数最多。该提案寻求为来自美国的科学家提供旅行支持，包括来自代表性不足的少数群体的特邀演讲者和科学家。

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.
