DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Attracting clinicians to career paths in clinical and/or translational research has been an objective of the Central Institute for the Deaf (CID) and Washington University in St. Louis (WU) since they jointly established the first graduate training program in audiology in 1947. In the ensuing decades, more than 600 individuals have earned audiology degrees from this partnership, and all of them completed a research project as part of the process. The recent acquisition of the CID research, clinical, and educational programs by Washington University School of Medicine and their placement into the Department of Otolaryngology has further strengthened our hearing research, clinical practice, and academic programs. The newly-established clinical doctoral program in audiology (Au.D.). offered through the Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences (PACS) creates an expanded opportunity to enhance research training for future audiologists through its close affiliation with one of the nation's largest research-based Otolaryngology departments, and its new home in a highly-ranked, strongly supported School of Medicine that places a primary emphasis on training clinician-scientists, researchers, and leaders. The specific aim of the training grant is to expand opportunities for research training of audiologists who may be interested in research career paths. Intensive, full time, three month basic, clinical or translational research experiences will be offered to selected students who demonstrate competitively their talent, interest, and capability to work and learn in specialized research environments. Trainees will complete a research project under the supervision of one of more than three dozen funded scientists in laboratories conducting research that spans the scope of practice of clinical audiology: vestibular function and balance assessment, evaluation and treatment of age-related and noise-induced hearing loss, sensory cell regeneration and development, cochlear implants in children and adults, language acquisition and speech perception in children with hearing impairment, hearing aids, tinnitus, diseases of the middle and inner ear, aural rehabilitation, and the basic sciences underlying these practice areas. The research experiences offered through this program will help secure the scientific foundation of the profession, and to help instill a research mindset into all the audiologists who study at Washington University.

描述（由申请人提供）：自从1947年中央聋人研究所（CID）和圣路易斯华盛顿大学（WU）联合建立了第一个听力学研究生培训项目以来，吸引临床医生走上临床和/或转化研究的职业道路一直是他们的目标。在接下来的几十年里，超过600人从这个伙伴关系中获得了听力学学位，他们都完成了一个研究项目，作为这个过程的一部分。华盛顿大学医学院最近收购了CID的研究、临床和教育项目，并将其安置在耳鼻喉科，进一步加强了我们的听力研究、临床实践和学术项目。新设听力学临床博士点（aud）。通过听力学和传播科学（PACS）项目提供的课程，通过与全国最大的研究型耳鼻喉科之一的密切联系，以及它在一个高排名，大力支持的医学院的新家，为未来的听力学家提供了一个扩大的研究培训机会，该医学院主要强调培训临床医生科学家，研究人员和领导者。培训补助金的具体目的是扩大可能对研究职业道路感兴趣的听力学家的研究培训机会。在专业研究环境中表现出有竞争力的才能、兴趣和工作学习能力的学生，将获得为期三个月的全日制基础、临床或转化研究经验。受训者将在三十多名受资助科学家的指导下完成一项研究项目，这些科学家在实验室进行研究，涵盖临床听力学的实践范围。前庭功能和平衡评估，年龄相关性和噪声性听力损失的评估和治疗，感觉细胞再生和发育，儿童和成人人工耳蜗植入，听力障碍儿童的语言习得和言语感知，助听器，耳鸣，中耳和内耳疾病，听力康复，以及这些实践领域的基础科学。通过该项目提供的研究经验将有助于确保该专业的科学基础，并有助于向在华盛顿大学学习的所有听力学家灌输研究心态。
