Short-Term Research Training for AuD Students

简介（由申请人提供）：本项目短期研究训练计划的目的。男孩镇国家研究医院（BTNRH）的学生将提供6个aud。学生每年有机会在三个月的时间内从事全职（每周40小时）的听力科学临床或转化研究经验。每个受训者将参与一个特定研究项目的实施，在nih资助的10个BTNRH实验室之一工作，目前正在进行与听力学直接相关的临床和转化研究。学员将与BTNRH教师导师密切合作，他们在临床导向的多学科研究环境中拥有丰富的工作经验。在参与研究项目之前，受训者将完成花旗与以人类为研究对象的研究相关的培训课程。此外，他们还将参加一门关于负责任的研究行为的课程，该课程将在他们在BTNRH实习期间进行。受训者将参加讨论会和期刊小组，除了他们主要感兴趣的实验室外，还将接触到广泛的BTNRH实验室，包括参与基础研究的实验室。他们将受益于现有的支持服务，包括专门用于实验室计算和学科招聘的核心，以及在许多实验室工作的博士后研究员的存在。学生将接受培训。博士后研究员，其中许多人将继续从事学术事业，将受益于与教师导师一起参与这些学生的培训。在实施拟议的项目中，BTNRH的教师将受益于他们在提供短期和长期临床培训、为少数民族本科生提供短期研究培训以及作为aud的教师参与方面的经验。内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校的博士课程。短期研究培训计划的学员将从澳大招聘。项目在全国范围内。到目前为止，已经有19个项目提供了意向书。该项目将通过改善听力学家的培训，使公众健康受益，这些听力学家将在医疗中心、诊所和学校为公众提供服务。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Short-Term Research Training Program for Au.D. Students at the Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) is to give six Au.D. students per year the opportunity to pursue a full-time (40 hours per week) hands-on clinical or translational research experience in the hearing sciences over a three-month period. Each trainee will be involved in the conduct of a specific research project, working in one of 10 BTNRH NIH-funded laboratories currently carrying out clinical and translational research directly related to audiology. Trainees will work closely with BTNRH faculty mentors who have extensive experience working in a clinically oriented, multidisciplinary research environment. Prior to participation in a research project, trainees will complete the CITI training course related to research involving humans as research subjects. In addition, they will participate in a course on responsible conduct in research which will meet over the course of their internship at BTNRH. Trainees will attend colloquia and journal groups, and will be exposed to a wide range of BTNRH laboratories, in addition to the one in which they have primary interest, including laboratories involved in basic research. They will benefit from available support services, including cores devoted to laboratory computing and subject recruitment, and from the presence of postdoctoral fellows who work in many of the laboratories in which predoctoral Au.D. students will be trained. Postdoctoral fellows, many of whom will go on to academic careers, will benefit by participating with faculty mentors in the training of these students. In conducting the proposed program, the BTNRH faculty will benefit from their experience in providing short- and long-term clinical training, short-term research training for undergraduates from underrepresented minorities, and from participation as faculty in the Au.D. and Ph.D. programs at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Trainees in the Short-Term Research Training Program will be recruited from Au.D. programs nationally. To date, 19 programs have provided letters of interest. This program will benefit public health by improving the training of audiologists who will be providing services to the public in medical centers, clinics, and schools.
