DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continued funding to support translational-research lectures, interdisciplinary special-session presentations, and presentations of student-resident research at the annual meeting of the American Auditory Society (AAS). NIH conference grants have supported these activities for the past 5 years with great success. As a result of this support, the AAS has provided a forum for basic-research scientists to present their work to a clinical audience, thus increasing the translational value of fundamental research findings. The NIH conference grant has also provided support for special interdisciplinary sessions that bring together audiologists, otolaryngologists, hearing scientists and representatives from industry (the four constituencies that make up the membership of the AAS) on a focused topic of broad interest. This session fosters interactions among these disciplines, enhancing opportunities for scientific transfer into the clinic, including the development of improved technologies and intervention strategies. Finally, the NIH conference-grant support has enabled the AAS to encourage the next generation of clinical researchers by providing a forum for students and resident physicians to present their research, and to receive feedback and constructive criticism from senior members of both the basic-science and clinical-research communities. The present application requests support that will allow the AAS to continue these highly successful activities. There is a critical need to translate basic research findings to the care of patients with hearing and balance problems through clinical research efforts. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of individuals embarking on careers in which clinical research is an important component. In an effort to facilitate the transfer from laboratory to bedside, this conference grant supports presentations of basic research findings to a clinical audience. It also encourages students, postdoctoral fellows and residents in training interested in clinical research through a travel-scholarship program that allows them to present their research to more seasoned basic and applied researchers. In this way, the grant fosters translational efforts and provides a nurturing environment for individuals interested in clinical research at the earliest stages of their careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求继续提供资金，以支持学术研究讲座，跨学科的特别会议介绍，并在美国听觉学会（AAS）的年会上介绍学生驻地研究。在过去的5年里，NIH会议赠款支持了这些活动，取得了巨大的成功。由于这种支持，AAS为基础研究科学家提供了一个论坛，向临床观众介绍他们的工作，从而增加了基础研究成果的转化价值。美国国立卫生研究院会议补助金还为特殊的跨学科会议提供支持，这些会议将听力学家，耳鼻喉科医生，听力科学家和行业代表（组成AAS成员的四个选区）聚集在一起，讨论广泛感兴趣的重点主题。本次会议促进了这些学科之间的互动，增加了科学转移到临床的机会，包括改进技术和干预战略的发展。最后，美国国立卫生研究院的会议补助金支持使AAS能够鼓励下一代临床研究人员，为学生和住院医师提供一个论坛，以展示他们的研究，并从基础科学和临床研究社区的高级成员那里获得反馈和建设性的批评。本申请请求提供支持，使原子能机构能够继续开展这些非常成功的活动。迫切需要通过临床研究工作将基础研究成果转化为听力和平衡问题患者的护理。不幸的是，从事临床研究是重要组成部分的职业的人短缺。为了促进从实验室到床边的转移，该会议资助支持向临床观众介绍基础研究结果。它还鼓励学生，博士后研究员和居民通过旅行奖学金计划对临床研究感兴趣，使他们能够向经验丰富的基础和应用研究人员展示他们的研究。通过这种方式，该补助金促进了翻译工作，并为在职业生涯的最早阶段对临床研究感兴趣的个人提供了一个培养环境。
