DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The funds requested in this application are for partial support of the workshop "The Mouse as an Instrument for Ear Research V" to be held at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine on September 30, 2012 - October 4, 2012. This workshop is one of a kind and will focus on comparative, translational aspects of characterizing auditory function in mouse models and humans. It represents an intensive training opportunity for graduate students, postdocs and investigators wishing to gain expertise in characterizing mouse auditory function. This workshop is for a small number of participants and includes classroom lectures in the morning, followed by laboratory sessions in the afternoon. It is the primary aim of this workshop to promote communication between both research and clinical investigators in various fields of biology related to hearing and balance, with a focus on the realized and potential applications of the mouse to their field of study. Toward this end, students and established investigators from several disciplines will have an opportunity to share new ideas, identify potential collaborations and help chart a course for the future of ear research. Lectures will be offered in the LCC Auditorium, and hands on sessions will be held in the Applied Genomics Training Center (AGTC) in the Genetic Resources Building (GRB). In an era of expanding mouse model resources, practical training in phenotyping and related methodologies will continue to be of enormous benefit to researchers in the field. The only current educational offerings that address auditory biology and disease either focus on humans or on the pathology of human disease and are often large amorphous society meetings. Typically, these are not workshops in the true sense, but larger informational events often lasting no more than a single day. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This workshop is directly relevant to human health as its focus is on the use of the laboratory mouse to study and understand human auditory biology and disease. Promoting the responsible use of appropriate models is critical to the development of effective new therapeutic approaches to treating human hearing disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请所要求的资金用于部分支持将于2012年9月30日至2012年10月4日在缅因州巴尔港杰克逊实验室举行的“鼠标作为耳朵研究V的工具”研讨会。本次研讨会将集中讨论小鼠模型和人类听觉功能的比较、翻译方面的特征。它为研究生、博士后和希望获得表征小鼠听觉功能专业知识的研究人员提供了一个强化训练的机会。这个研讨会是为少数参与者准备的，包括上午的课堂讲座，下午的实验室会议。本次研讨会的主要目的是促进与听力和平衡相关的生物学各个领域的研究和临床研究人员之间的交流，重点关注小鼠在其研究领域的已实现和潜在应用。为了这个目的，同学们
