Lessons for Success Research Conference: Developing Emerging Scientists in Commun

描述（由申请人提供）：一个学科的长期生存能力取决于其研究基础的健康。为了发展、成长和维持这一基础，传播科学和疾病（CSD）领域--与相关学科没有什么不同--必须继续培养能够支持其推进传播科学和教育言语语言病理学家和听力学家的使命的学者。不幸的是，可持续发展委员会在这方面面临的挑战尤其严重，因为有文件证明，该委员会难以吸引和留住从事研究的教员。为了缓解这种担忧，CSD领域已经认识到支持新兴科学家的重要性，这些科学家表现出很大的希望，对维持和扩大CSD的科学基础至关重要。鉴于上述情况，本申请寻求支持一系列五个，为期21/2天的研究会议，旨在提高发展科学家成功成为CSD学科中有影响力的学者所需的技能。这些会议的目标是提供密集的培训，一组新兴的科学家在（a）赠款资助和准备，（B）竞争性研究计划的开发和管理，（c）开发专业能力所需的生产性研究生涯领域的选择。需要资金来支持多达25个博士前和博士后旅行奖和一些演讲者的旅行。额外的演讲者旅费和其他会议费用将由美国语言听力协会和美国语言听力基金会支付。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term viability of a discipline rests upon the health of its research base. To develop, grow and maintain this base, the field of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) - not unlike related disciplines - must continue to develop scholars who can support its mission of advancing the science of communication and educating speech-language pathologists and audiologists. Unfortunately, CSD is particularly challenged in this regard, as indicated by its documented difficulty in attracting and retaining research-active faculty. To ameliorate this concern, the field of CSD has recognized the importance of supporting emerging scientists who show great promise, individuals critical for maintaining and extending the scientific base of CSD. Given the above, this application seeks support for a series of five, 21/2 day research conferences designed to enhance the skills needed for developing scientists to be successful in becoming influential scholars in the discipline of CSD. The goal of these conferences is to provide intensive training to a select group of emerging scientists in the areas of (a) grant funding and preparation, (b) development and management of competitive research programs, and (c) development of professional competencies needed for a productive research career. Funds are requested to support up to 25 pre- and postdoctoral travel awards and some speaker travel. Additional speaker travel costs and other meeting expenses would be paid by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), and the American Speech- Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHF).
