DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a resubmission of our renewal proposal requesting an additional five years of T35 funding to support a three-month summer training program at the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR) for students enrolled in a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) clinical degree program. We request funding to cover four students annually for the duration of the grant. Gabrielle Saunders, Ph.D. will be the Program Director. She will be assisted by an Advisory Committee. The long-term objective of our program is to increase the number of individuals with a clinical Au.D. who go on to pursue a Ph.D. and a career in research audiology. The NCRAR is a VA-funded research center consisting of 15 Ph.D. investigators, 12 of whom are T-35 faculty. NCRAR research focuses on diagnosis, rehabilitation and prevention of auditory disorders through human studies, through translational and applied studies, many of which use clinical methodologies to obtain data. It thus has particular appeal and application to the clinical Au.D. students, for whom the program is designed. During the summer, each student works with their mentor to design and conduct a research project, while also working in their mentor's laboratory, attending courses held by NCRAR faculty and guests, participating in NCRAR journal groups, meetings and seminars, holding discussions with each NCRAR Investigator, attending a summer audiology conference and visiting other local research facilities. Finally, students are required to present their mentored research project to members of the NCRAR, and at the American Auditory Society annual meeting. They are also encouraged to work with their mentor to publish the findings of this project. All students enrolled in an accredited Au.D. program are eligible to participate. The program is publicized via mailings to Au.D. Department Chairs, on the NCRAR website, and at audiology conferences throughout the year. To apply, students must send a statement of interest describing what they hope to gain from the traineeship, curriculum vitae, at least two letters of recommendation and an applicant evaluation form completed by their Au.D. program advisor. Applications are evaluated by the NCRAR faculty using undergraduate GPA, letters of recommendation, the content of their personal statement and the applicant evaluation form as metrics. To date, 20 students have participated in the NCRAR T35 training program. Twelve of the past trainees have now graduated from their Au.D. programs. Four of our past students are now enrolled in Ph.D. programs, two are research audiologists, and the others have chosen a clinical pathway. These data, combined with highly positive evaluations from participating students, Au.D. program faculty (see letters of support), and the NCRAR faculty demonstrates that our program successfully accomplishes the goals of the NIH T35 training program, which is to increase the number of Au.D. graduates pursuing a career in auditory research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是我们的更新建议的重新提交，要求额外五年的T35资金，以支持在国家听力研究中心（NCRAR）为听力学博士（A.D.）注册的学生提供为期三个月的暑期培训计划。临床学位课程我们要求在赠款期间每年资助四名学生。Gabrielle Saunders博士将成为项目总监。她将得到一个咨询委员会的协助。我们计划的长期目标是增加临床Au.D.的人数。继续攻读博士学位和听力学研究的职业生涯NCRAR是VA资助的研究中心，由15名博士组成。调查人员，其中12人是T-35教师。NCRAR的研究重点是通过人类研究、转化研究和应用研究来诊断、康复和预防听觉障碍，其中许多研究使用临床方法来获得数据。因此，它具有特殊的吸引力和应用的临床Au.D.学生，为谁设计的程序。在夏季，每个学生都与他们的导师一起设计和进行研究项目，同时也在导师的实验室工作，参加NCRAR教师和嘉宾举办的课程，参加NCRAR期刊组，会议和研讨会，与每个NCRAR调查员进行讨论，参加夏季听力学会议并参观其他当地研究设施。最后，学生必须向NCRAR成员和美国听觉学会年会介绍他们的指导研究项目。我们还鼓励他们与导师合作，发表本项目的研究结果。所有学生都参加了认可的A.D.计划有资格参加。的 该计划通过邮寄给Au. D进行宣传。系主任，在NCRAR网站上，并在全年的听力学会议。要申请，学生必须发送一份兴趣声明，描述他们希望从实习中获得什么，简历，至少两封推荐信和一份由他们的Au. D完成的申请人评估表。项目顾问申请由NCRAR教师使用本科GPA，推荐信，个人陈述的内容和申请人评估表作为指标进行评估。 到目前为止，已有20名学生参加了NCRAR T35培训计划。过去的12名学员现已从A.D.毕业。程序.我们过去的四名学生现在正在攻读博士学位。计划，两个是研究听力学家，其他人选择了临床路径。这些数据，加上参与学生的高度积极评价，计划教师（见支持信），和NCRAR教师证明，我们的计划成功地实现了NIH T35培训计划的目标，这是增加Au. D.从事听觉研究的毕业生。
