DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is an initiative of the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR) to provide a stimulating summer research experience for four predoctoral graduate students recruited nationally from all accredited Au.D. programs. NCRAR investigators use multidisciplinary approaches to decrease hearing disability. Research programs address diagnosis and assessment, rehabilitation and prevention in areas of audiology, psychology, neuroscience, neurology, otolaryngology, and engineering. The breadth of experimental approaches, coupled with the common focus on clinically-relevant significant problems of hearing-impaired patients provides us an opportunity to offer research training that may be unique within the nation's universities and research organizations. The NCRAR is made up of 11 investigators with proven research and training records as well as a strong history of internal research collaborations, all located within a well-equipped center at the Portland Veteran's Administration Medical Center, Portland, Oregon. The goal of this training program is to enhance and expand the clinical audiology training offered in university Au.D. programs by providing a mechanism for the short term immersion of Au.D. students into clinical research. It is hoped that some of the summer trainees will be attracted to a change in direction into a research career, while others will at least develop an appreciation for the research process. The research activities available to the summer trainees will be varied. Students will be assigned a faculty mentor, selected according to the student's interests and the mentor's availability and will work within the context of the research area of the primary mentor. Inter-laboratory interactions will be encouraged. There will be weekly seminars provided by the faculty, including presentations by scientists from other institutions in the Portland area, involving research ethics and the process of carrying out a research project, from design to publication. Trainees will be expected to end their training program by developing an oral presentation describing their research during the summer. It is anticipated that an additional benefit of this program will be the opportunity for students from different universities to learn from each other and start to form nationwide collegial relationships that will last throughout their careers. Relevance: There is a wide array of training models in place within graduate programs offering the professional doctorate in audiology, with only a few offering extensive research training. This, coupled with a reduction in the number of Ph.D. graduates in audiology, results in an ever-decreasing pool of academic audiologists who have the training, desire, and expertise to staff university faculties and continue the research tradition in clinical audiology.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是国家康复听觉研究中心 (NCRAR) 的一项举措，旨在为从全国所有经过认证的 Au.D. 国家招收的四名博士前研究生提供刺激的暑期研究体验。程序。 NCRAR 调查人员使用多学科方法来减少听力障碍。研究项目涉及听力学、心理学、神经科学、神经病学、耳鼻喉科和工程学领域的诊断和评估、康复和预防。实验方法的广泛性，加上对听力障碍患者临床相关重大问题的共同关注，为我们提供了提供研究培训的机会，这在全国的大学和研究组织中可能是独一无二的。 NCRAR 由 11 名研究人员组成，他们拥有可靠的研究和培训记录以及丰富的内部研究合作历史，所有研究人员均位于俄勒冈州波特兰市波特兰退伍军人管理局医疗中心设备齐全的中心内。该培训计划的目标是加强和扩大 Au.D. 大学提供的临床听力学培训。通过提供 Au.D. 短期沉浸式学习机制学生投入临床研究。希望一些暑期学员会被研究职业方向的转变所吸引，而其他人至少会对研究过程产生欣赏。暑期学员可以参加的研究活动多种多样。学生将被分配一名导师，根据学生的兴趣和导师的可用性进行选择，并将在主要导师的研究领域内工作。将鼓励实验室间的互动。教师每周都会举办研讨会，包括来自波特兰地区其他机构的科学家的演讲，涉及研究伦理和研究项目从设计到出版的过程。学员将通过口头陈述描述他们在夏季的研究来结束他们的培训计划。预计该计划的另一个好处将是来自不同大学的学生有机会互相学习，并开始建立全国性的学院关系，这种关系将持续到他们的整个职业生涯。相关性：在提供听力学专业博士学位的研究生课程中存在多种培训模式，只有少数提供广泛的研究培训。再加上博士学位数量的减少。听力学专业的毕业生数量不断减少，导致学术听力学家数量不断减少，他们拥有培训、渴望和专业知识，可以为大学教师提供服务，并延续临床听力学的研究传统。
