DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Research Training Program is proposed to provide experience in hearing research to predoctoral students who are enrolled in a clinically based degree (Au.D.) program. The long-term goal is to develop interest in pursuing a career in hearing research. This objective addresses current concern about decreasing numbers of students pursuing research careers in audiology and hearing science. Short-term full-time research support is requested for four predoctoral (Au.D.) students per year for each of the five years of the grant. Trainees will obtain research experience in the research laboratories of ten preceptors in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at Vanderbilt University. Areas of research in these laboratories span basic science and translational research in animal and human subjects and address topics including cochlear and neural physiology in development and aging, hereditary hearing loss, spatial localization, motion perception, directional hearing and amplification, pediatric audiology, speech recognition in noise, cochlear implants, auditory neural and multisensory cortical function in animal models, and cortical function in stuttering. The full-time research training at the end of the third year of the Au.D. program will be preceded by research-related coursework and a one semester research elective in preparation for the full- time research training. Strengths of the proposed Vanderbilt program are the standing of the Vanderbilt Au.D. program in the academic community, the high caliber of the students, preceptors who teach in and are familiar with the Vanderbilt Au.D. program, the variety of research programs, and the commitment of the faculty and institution demonstrated by plans for specific coursework and activities to maximize the benefit of the NIH-NIDCD supported research training. The research environment is excellent with new state-of-the-art laboratories and numerous interdisciplinary collaborations. Trainees will complete their short-term experience by submitting their research for presentation at a national meeting that emphasizes science and participating in publication of the research. Researchers with clinical backgrounds who develop research skills and careers are well-suited to identify and solve public health problems. The proposed program will provide a focused research experience for students training in clinical audiology with the goal of developing interest in pursuing a research career in hearing. This will benefit society by insuring a strong future for research related to hearing health.

描述(由申请者提供)：一个研究培训计划被提出，以提供在听力研究方面的经验给以临床为基础的学位(8月博士学位)的博士前学生。程序。长期目标是培养从事听力研究事业的兴趣。这一目标解决了目前越来越多的学生追求听力学和听力科学研究职业的问题。要求为四名博士前(8月博士)提供短期全职研究支持。在五年助学金的每一年中，每年为学生提供助学金。学员将在范德比尔特大学听力和言语科学系的十名教官的研究实验室获得研究经验。这些实验室的研究领域涵盖动物和人类受试者的基础科学和翻译研究，涉及的主题包括发育和衰老中的耳蜗学和神经生理学、遗传性听力损失、空间定位、运动感知、定向听力和放大、儿科听力学、噪音中的语音识别、人工耳蜗植入、动物模型中的听觉神经和多感觉皮质功能，以及口吃的皮质功能。在Au.D.课程第三年结束时的全日制研究培训之前，将有与研究相关的课程和一学期的研究选修课，为全日制研究培训做准备。拟议的Vanderbilt计划的优势是：Vanderbilt Au.D.计划在学术界的地位，学生的高素质，在Vanderbilt Au.D.计划中任教并熟悉Vanderbilt Au.D.计划的导师，多样化的研究计划，以及教职员工和机构对具体课程和活动的承诺，以最大限度地发挥NIH-NIDCD支持的研究培训的好处。研究环境非常好，有新的最先进的实验室和许多跨学科的合作。学员将完成他们的短期经验，提交他们的研究报告，在一个强调科学的全国会议上发表，并参与研究成果的出版。具有临床背景并发展研究技能和职业生涯的研究人员非常适合识别和解决公共卫生问题。拟议的计划将为临床听力学培训的学生提供有针对性的研究经验，目的是培养学生对从事听力研究事业的兴趣。这将使社会受益，因为它将确保与听力健康相关的研究有一个强劲的未来。
