This application seeks support for a 5 day intensive clinical research conference in which to present the latest advances in the science of clinical investigation and apply this knowledge within a practical mentored experience for the purposes of study design and protocol development. The conference is needed to address the shortage of trained research clinicians working in communication diseases and disorders, who are required to meet the demands of translational clinical research and the evidence-based practice of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Communication Disorders. The conference will be held April 7-12, 2003 at the Bolger Conference Center, Potomac, Maryland. Advances in molecular biology and genetics have provided a pathway for the development of new and improved diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive measures to combat human communication diseases and disorders. However, patients cannot benefit from these basic science advances unless clinical researchers, particularly those with the ability to conduct translational research, perform the studies necessary to demonstrate evidence of effectiveness that will bring these advances from the bench to the bedside. Too few viable research projects exist to meet these needs. This shortfall is due to 1) inadequate numbers of trained, experienced, and mentored investigators; and 2) the absence of a viable national clinical research system in which networks of clinical scientists can carry out the needed clinical research projects. The proposed conference will consist of plenary lectures, panel discussions, and small group workshops. The faculty members are experts in clinical research methods and in content areas. Attendees will be physicians and other clinicians in communication diseases and disorders, such as audiologists and speech/language pathologists. Fellowships will be available for attendees with a demonstrated commitment to clinical research as evidenced by a preliminary research project and letters of support in their applications.

该申请寻求对为期 5 天的密集临床研究会议的支持，在会议上展示临床研究科学的最新进展，并将这些知识应用到实际指导经验中，以达到研究设计和方案开发的目的。这次会议需要解决从事沟通疾病和障碍领域训练有素的研究临床医生的短缺问题，这些临床医生需要满足转化临床研究以及耳鼻喉头颈外科和沟通障碍的循证实践的需求。会议将于 2003 年 4 月 7 日至 12 日在马里兰州波托马克的博尔格会议中心举行。分子生物学和遗传学的进步为开发新的和改进的诊断、治疗和预防措施以对抗人类传播疾病和紊乱提供了途径。然而，除非临床研究人员，否则患者无法从这些基础科学进步中受益， 特别是那些有能力进行转化研究的人，进行必要的研究来证明有效性的证据，从而将这些进步从实验室带到临床。满足这些需求的可行研究项目太少。这种短缺是由于 1) 训练有素、经验丰富和受指导的调查人员数量不足； 2）缺乏可行的国家临床研究系统，临床科学家网络可以在该系统中开展所需的临床研究项目。拟议的会议将包括全体演讲、小组讨论和小组研讨会。教职员工都是临床研究方法和内容领域的专家。与会者将是沟通疾病和障碍领域的医生和其他临床医生，例如听力学家和言语/语言病理学家。具有明确承诺的与会者将可获得奖学金 通过初步研究项目和申请中的支持信证明的临床研究。
