DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support for a 3 day intensive clinical research conference to present the latest advances in the science of clinical investigation for the purposes of study design and protocol development. The conference is needed to address the shortage of trained research clinicians working in Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery and Communication Sciences and Disorders, who are required to meet the demands of translational clinical research and the evidence-based practice. The conference is scheduled for November 10-13, 2005 at the Bolger Center, Potomac, MD. 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 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 is due to 1) inadequate numbers of trained, experiences, 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 clinicians in communication disorders, such as audiologists and speech/language pathologists. Fellowships will be available for attendees.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求对为期3天的密集临床研究会议的支持，以介绍临床研究科学的最新进展，用于研究设计和方案开发。会议需要解决在耳鼻咽喉-头颈外科和通信科学和疾病工作的训练有素的研究临床医生的短缺问题，他们需要满足转化临床研究和循证实践的需求。会议定于2005年11月10日至13日在马里兰州波托马克的博尔格中心举行。 分子生物学和遗传学的进展为制定新的和改进的诊断、治疗和预防措施以防治人类传播疾病和失调提供了途径。然而，除非临床研究人员进行必要的研究，以证明将这些进步从实验室带到床边的有效性证据，否则患者无法从这些基础科学进步中受益。现有可行的研究项目太少，无法满足这些需求。这是由于：1）受过培训、有经验和有指导的研究人员数量不足; 2）缺乏一个可行的国家临床研究系统，临床科学家网络可以在其中开展所需的临床研究项目。 拟议的会议将包括全体讲座，小组讨论和小组研讨会。教师是临床研究方法和内容领域的专家。与会者将是沟通障碍的医生和临床医生，如听力学家和言语/语言病理学家。将为与会者提供奖学金。
