This application requests partial support for a conference on New Frontiers in the Amelioration of Hearing Loss hosted by the Central Institute for the Deaf, an affiliate of Washington University in St. Louis, and in honor of Dr. James D. Miller. This conference provides a rare opportunity for clinicians, scientists and engineers in widely disparate fields to come together and share their latest research findings. The proposed conference will reflect the current state-of-the-art and project future developments in four major areas: hair cell regeneration and development, sensory cell protection and rescue, sensory aids, and auditory processing and rehabilitation. One of the major aims of the proposed conference is to bring together biologists who study basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of sensory cells with clinical scientists and engineers who are working on the characteristics and development of sensory aids and treatments. The hope is to facilitate dialogue, the transfer of information and the latest findings as well as to highlight opportunities for research that have potential applications to the treatment of hearing loss. The proposed conference will include invited presentations and discussions, tutorials, and contributed poster sessions. Cross-disciplinary tutorials will be used to educate both basic scientists and clinical scientists and engineers. Conference proceedings will be peer reviewed and published in an issue of Ear and Hearing. The organizing committee consists of a group of well established investigators in the four major areas of the conference and is assisted by a conference coordinator. An internationally recognized panel of scientists advises the organizing committee. In order to encourage new and young investigators, 30 scholarships will be awarded to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The proposed conference will be advertised through postal and electronic mailings, announcements and posters at appropriate places.

该申请要求部分支持新边界的会议，以改善由中央聋人研究所，圣路易斯华盛顿大学的会员和詹姆斯·D·米勒博士主持的听力损失。这次会议为广泛不同领域的临床医生，科学家和工程师提供了难得的机会，可以共同分享他们的最新研究结果。拟议的会议将反映出四个主要领域的当前最新和预测未来发展：毛细胞再生和开发，感觉细胞保护和救援，感觉辅助以及听觉处理和康复。拟议会议的主要目的之一是将研究感官细胞的基本细胞和分子机制与临床科学家和工程师一起研究，他们正在研究感觉辅助和治疗的特征和发展。希望是促进对话，信息的传递和最新发现，以及强调具有潜在应用听力损失的研究机会。拟议的会议将包括邀请的演讲和讨论，教程和贡献海报会议。跨学科教程将用于教育基础科学家，临床科学家和工程师。会议程序将在EAR和听证会上进行同行审查和发表。组织委员会由会议四个主要领域的一组成熟的调查员组成，并得到了会议协调员的协助。一个国际认可的科学家小组建议组织委员会。为了鼓励新的和年轻的调查人员，将向研究生和博士后研究员授予30项奖学金。拟议的会议将通过邮政和电子邮件，公告和海报在适当的地方进行宣传。
