DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Two new investigators will be hired into tenure track positions (with a minimum funding for 4 years beyond the grant). The searches for these positions were pre-empted by a hiring freeze. Additional economic impact comes from two additional full-time technicians to be hired and laboratory startup spending. The two hires are interdisciplinary. One investigator will be jointly appointed in Psychology and Linguistics, and the other will be jointly appointed in Communication Disorders and Psychology. These hires will catalyze the formation of a Cognitive Science Language Core research center. The foundations for this Core has been built over the last decade through coordination of the Cognitive Science Program and the three appointing departments. We will leverage these hires to catalyze our potential for multidisciplinary and translational research in core NIDCD areas. The new investigators we would hire are stellar in their own right, but also have deep interest in bridging basic and translational research, and bring research programs and skill sets that are ideal for building bridges among our three departments. These hires will do more than simply fill gaps; we have crafted a plan that would simultaneously nurture the development of the new investigators while creating permanent structures, mechanisms, and events that will facilitate interdisciplinary and translational language research at UConn. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: 2 faculty investigators will be hired and jointly appointed in 2 departments (Psychology and Linguistics or Communication Disorders and Psychology). Planned activities will facilitate and accelerate ongoing efforts at bridging basic and applied research in typical and atypical language structure, processing and development. The resulting translational research has great potential for improving understanding and intervention.

描述（由申请人提供）：两名新的调查员将被聘为终身职位（最低资助为4年以上的赠款）。由于招聘冻结，对这些职位的搜索被提前取消。额外的经济影响来自两个额外的全职技术人员被雇用和实验室启动支出。 这两个招聘是跨学科的。一名研究员将在心理学和语言学联合任命，另一名将在沟通障碍和心理学联合任命。这些招聘将促进认知科学语言核心研究中心的形成。在过去的十年中，通过认知科学计划和三个任命部门的协调，已经建立了这个核心的基础。 我们将利用这些招聘来催化我们在核心NIDCD领域的多学科和转化研究的潜力。我们将聘请的新研究人员本身就是一流的，但也有很大的兴趣，在桥梁基础和转化研究，并带来研究计划和技能，是理想的建立我们三个部门之间的桥梁。这些招聘将不仅仅是填补空白;我们制定了一项计划，同时培养新调查人员的发展，同时创建永久的结构，机制和活动，以促进康州大学的跨学科和翻译语言研究。 公共卫生关系：将在2个部门（心理学和语言学或沟通障碍和心理学）聘请并联合任命2名教师调查员。计划开展的活动将促进和加快目前正在进行的努力，将典型和非典型语言结构、处理和发展方面的基础研究和应用研究联系起来。由此产生的转化研究具有很大的潜力，以提高理解和干预。
