DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of this application is to promote research and training in the neurobiology of speech and language via support for an annual scientific conference, the Neurobiology of Language Conference (NLC). The NLC fills a much-needed gap in scientific meetings on the neural basis of language by emphasizing the strongest work on the integration of neuroscience research and communication disorders with cognitive, linguistic, psycholinguistic, perceptual, and motor control models of speech and language. We have the following five specific aims. (1) To support an annual meeting on the Neurobiology of Language with the aim of providing a forum for the interaction of researchers in the full range of allied areas including neuroscience, genetics, communications disorders, cognitive psychology, linguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, perception, motor control, computational modeling, and neural and psychophysical methods. (2) To expand the breadth of knowledge of researchers in the field by bringing in distinguished keynote speakers in neuroscience and biology. (3) To advance the training and education in the neurobiology of language by providing student scholarships for conference attendance. (4) To promote diversity in the field by providing scholarships for conference attendance to under-represented groups. Because the NLC meeting brings together a broad range of language scientists who don't normally interact regularly, we believe the meeting will lead to valuable new interactions, collaborations, and novel ideas in the Neurobiology of Language, including both basic scientific findings and applied findings in physiologically-based therapies for neurogenic language disorders. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Language disorders affect millions of people in the United States. There is an extensive research community, with much of this research funded by NIDCD, which targets both basic and clinically-oriented research on the neural basis of language and language disorders. By providing a forum for the communication of new research findings and emerging trends, the Neurobiology of Language Conference will play a pivotal role in scientific progress aimed at understanding, diagnosing, and treating language disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的主要目标是通过支持年度科学会议，即语言神经生物学会议（NLC），促进语音和语言神经生物学的研究和培训。NLC通过强调将神经科学研究和沟通障碍与言语和语言的认知、语言、心理语言、感知和运动控制模型相结合的最强工作，填补了语言神经基础科学会议中急需的空白。我们有以下五个具体目标。(1)支持召开语言神经生物学年会，旨在为包括神经科学、遗传学、交流障碍、认知心理学、语言学、心理语言学、神经语言学、感知、运动控制、计算建模、神经和心理物理方法在内的各个相关领域的研究人员提供一个交流论坛。(2)通过邀请神经科学和生物学领域的知名主讲人，扩大研究人员在该领域的知识广度。(3)为参加会议的学生提供奖学金，以促进语言神经生物学的培训和教育。(4)通过向代表人数不足的群体提供出席会议的奖学金，促进该领域的多样性。由于NLC会议汇集了广泛的语言科学家，他们通常不经常互动，我们相信会议将导致语言神经生物学中有价值的新互动，合作和新想法，包括基础科学发现和基于神经源性语言障碍的生理治疗的应用发现。
