SYMPOSIUM ON RESEARCH IN CHILD LANGUAGE DISORDERS

这一请求是为每年在威斯康辛大学麦迪逊分校举行的儿童语言障碍研究研讨会（SRCLD）提供为期五年的持续支持。资金将用于支付受邀演讲者的旅费和每日津贴，为提交论文或海报的学生提供旅费支助，为维护和更新邮寄名单和与与会者的通信、网站维护、计算机支持和用品提供行政支助。SRCLD的卓越体现在几个方面，包括独特性、过去项目的质量、参与者、学生参与、项目增长以及过去20年会议产生的产品。该研讨会是唯一一个专门致力于语言障碍研究的全国性会议。在过去的20年里，这个会议作为一个高质量的科学会议，促进了专业研究人员和博士生的研究发展，在儿童语言研究人员中取得了卓越的成就。这些项目都是高质量的，有5到6个杰出研究人员的受邀演讲，以及对该领域做出重要贡献的研究论文。自1995年上一次拨款开始以来，取得的进展包括：1)。将计划扩大至两天半，包括59篇投稿论文和海报，以及六场应邀的1999年最新技术报告；2）. 每天结束时为学生提供辅导和讨论；3）. 1999年NIH学生旅行基金将至少部分支持35名学生的旅行，其中15名来自代表性不足的少数民族；4）. 研究儿童学习多种语言的研究人员增加了国际参与。

This request is for five years of continuing support for the Symposium on Research in Child Language Disorders (SRCLD) held annually at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Funds will provide travel and per diem support for invited speakers, travel support for students presenting papers or posters and administrative support for maintaining and updating the mailing list and communications with participants, web site maintenance, computer support, and supplies. The excellence of the SRCLD has been documented in several areas including uniqueness, quality of past programs, attendees, student participation, program growth, and the products resulting from the meetings over the past 20 years. The Symposium is the only national conference devoted solely to language disorders research. Over the past 20 years this meeting has achieved the distinction among child language researchers as a high quality scientific meeting fostering research development among professional researchers and doctoral students in training. Programs have been uniformly of high quality, featuring five to six invited major presentations by prominent researchers and contributed research papers making important contributions to the field. Progress since the last grant began in 1995 include: 1). Expansion of the program to two and one-half days accommodating 59 contributed papers and posters and six invited state-of the art presentations for 1999; 2). Tutorial and discussion sessions for students at the end of each day; 3). NIH student Travel funds for 1999 will support at least in part the travel for 35 students, 15 from underrepresented minorities; 4). Increased international participation by researchers studying children learning a variety of languages.
