Translational Research in Communication Sciences & Disorders

请参阅说明)： 这项提议的目标是培养博士后和博士后以及澳大利亚大学博士后学生进行 沟通障碍的翻译研究。正常的沟通有赖于健康的运作 几个相互关联的过程，包括听觉和知觉、认知、运动规划和 行刑。大多数沟通障碍类似地反映出这些神经元的多个组成部分的中断 流程。这项翻译研究培训计划旨在促进学员对 从广泛的角度考虑沟通障碍；考虑沟通的各个方面--感官 加工、语言和认知因素，以及运动过程--以正常和无序的方式相互作用 以及我们对正常过程的最新理解如何帮助设计治疗过程。这个 拟议的培训计划，由来自通信部的15名NIH资助的教职员工领导 科学与紊乱，将在我们的博士项目中结合传统课程，如实验设计 和方法以及博士研讨会，增加了新的组成部分，如基于案例的演示和 翻译研讨会。后两种经验，由一群轮流的教员在整个 学年，将涉及正常和无序的沟通过程的广泛讨论， 允许有基础或应用研究背景的受训人员探索将他们的研究扩展到 临床问题的解决。学员将学习如何开发和评估新的治疗方法。 程序和治疗。根据从参与 演讲和研讨会，学员将撰写一份NRSA研究提案，重点是BASIC 对沟通障碍的认识研究。从头到尾都将强调研究道德。 该计划将培养年轻的研究人员，他们不仅在基础和临床研究方面熟练，而且还 也知道如何设计实验来解决与这种疾病相关的问题。 博士前实习生将在全国范围内从惩教署和西北大学招聘 跨部门神经科学项目。博士后实习生将从名单服务器中面向全国招聘 和广告。AUD-博士生将从我们的AUD计划中招募。所有受训人员必须 表现出对翻译研究的承诺。计划进行广泛的外展，以招募以下人员- 代表少数族裔受训人员。 相关性(请参阅说明)： CSD领域缺乏训练有素的研究人员，尤其是那些能够翻译的人 研究。因此，对未来能够应用我们最新技术的研究人员有很大的需求 对正常功能的了解有助于制定治疗影响幸福感的临床问题的方法 以及沟通障碍患者的生活质量。在这方面需要训练有素的调查人员 外地应对所有年龄段日益增长的服务需求。

See instructions): The goal of this proposal is to train pre and postdoctoral students as well as AuD-PhD students to conduct translational research in communication disorders. Normal communication relies on the healthy functioning of several inter-related processes, including hearing and perception, cognition, motor planning and execution. Most communication disorders similarly reflect disruption of multiple components of these processes. This translational research training program aims to foster trainees' understanding of communication disorders from a broad perspective; to consider how all aspects of communication- sensory processing, linguistic and cognitive factors, and motor processes-interact in normal and disordered functioning and how our latest understanding of normal processes helps to design treatment processes. The proposed training program, led by 15 NIH-funded faculty members from the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, will combine traditional courses in our Ph.D. program, such as experimental design and methods and doctoral seminars, with new components such as case-based presentations and a translational seminar. The latter two experiences, taught by a rotating group of faculty throughout the academic year, will involve extensive discussion of both normal and disordered communication processes, allowing trainees with a background in basic or applied research to explore ways to extend their research to the solution of clinical problems. Trainees will be taught how to develop and assess new treatment procedures and treatments. Based on knowledge and experiences gained from participation in the presentations and seminars, trainees will write an NRSA research proposal, focused on translation of basic research to the understanding of communication disorders. Research ethics will be emphasized throughout. This program will produce young investigators who are not only skilled in basic and clinical research, but who also know how to design experiments to solve problems related to that disorder. Pre-doctoral trainees will be recruited nationally, from the CSD Department, and the Northwestern University Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program. Post-doctoral trainees will be recruited nationally from list-servs and advertisements. AuD-PhD trainees will be recruited from our AuD program. All trainees must demonstrate a commitment to translational research. Extensive outreach is planned to recruit under- represented minority trainees. RELEVANCE (See instructions): There is a dearth of well-trained researchers in the field of CSD, particularly for those capable of translational research. Thus, there is a strong demand for future research investigators who are able to apply our newest knowledge of normal function to development of treatments for clinical problems, which impact the well-being and quality of life of individuals with communication disorders. Well-trained investigators are needed in this field to address increasing demands for services at all age levels.
