Short-Term Research Training for AuD Students

描述(由申请者提供)：男童镇国立研究医院(BTNRH)的AUD学生短期研究培训计划每年将为五名AUD博士前学生提供为期3个月的全日制听力科学翻译研究经验。澳大利亚大学的学生将参与一个研究项目的所有方面，在BTNRH目前从事与听力学相关的翻译研究的13个实验室之一工作。13名实验室主任中的大多数都得到了外部支助，主要是NIDCD以R01和R03赠款的形式提供的。学生将与BTNRH教师导师合作，他们在临床导向的多学科研究环境中拥有丰富的工作经验。经验将包括(1)实验设计，(2)受试者招募、安排和同意(假设研究项目涉及人类)，(3)数据收集和分析，(4)准备描述他们工作的海报，以及(5)适当时准备手稿。 在参与研究之前，学生将完成CITI与研究相关的培训课程，研究涉及人类作为参与者。此外，他们还将参加一个关于研究中负责任行为的课程，该课程将在他们的实习期内进行。学生将参加座谈会和期刊小组，除了他们主要感兴趣的实验室外，还将接触到广泛的实验室。它们将受益于支助服务，包括专门用于实验室计算和统计分析、学科招聘的核心，以及一个新的核心，即协同核心，它支持BTNRH以外发言者的座谈和其他演讲。T35受训者还将受益于博士后研究员的存在，他们在许多实验室工作，这些实验室将培训澳大利亚大学的博士后学生。博士后研究员中的许多人将继续从事学术生涯，他们将受益于与教师导师一起参与对学生的培训。T35实习生将受益于BTNRH教师的经验，他们曾指导博士后研究员(作为T32资助的一部分)，为内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校的澳大利亚大学和博士生提供研究培训，并指导参与T35项目第一周期的澳大利亚大学实习生。T35受训人员将从澳大利亚全国范围内的项目中招募，特别努力从代表性不足的人群中识别和招募受训人员。评估项目成功的措施包括：(1)每个学员填写的离职问卷，(2)发给澳大利亚大学项目主任的调查问卷，要求他们评估T35培训对其学生的影响，(3)继续攻读博士学位为研究生涯做准备的T35学员的数量，(4)在强调研究的岗位上工作的AUD的数量，(5)在美国听觉学会(AAS)的全国会议上展示他们的工作的学员的数量，以及(6)受训人员是第一作者或合著者的出版物数量。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Short-Term Research Training Program for AuD Students at the Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) will provide 3-month, full-time hands-on translational research experiences in the hearing sciences to five predoctoral AuD students per year. AuD student will be involved in all aspects of a research project, working in one of 13 BTNRH laboratories currently conducting translational research related to audiology. Most of the 13 laboratory directors have extramural support, mainly from the NIDCD in the form of R01 and R03 grants. Students will work with BTNRH faculty mentors who have extensive experience working in a clinically oriented, multidisciplinary research environment. The experience will include (1) experimental design, (2) subject recruitment, scheduling and consenting (assuming the research project involve humans), (3) data collection and analysis, (4) preparation of a poster describing their work, and (5) if appropriate, preparation of a manuscript. Prior to research participation, students will complete the CITI training course related to research involving human as participants. In addition, they will participate in a course on responsible conduct in research which will meet over the course of their traineeship. Students will attend colloquia and journal groups, and will be exposed to a wide range of laboratories, in addition to the one in which they have primary interest. They will benefit from support services, including cores devoted to laboratory computing and statistical analyses, subject recruitment, and a new core, the Synergy Core, which supports colloquia and other presentations by speakers from outside BTNRH. T35 trainees also will benefit from the presence of postdoctoral fellows who work in many of the laboratories in which predoctoral AuD students will be trained. Postdoctoral fellows, many of whom will go on to academic careers, will benefit by participating with faculty mentors in the training of students. T35 trainees will benefit from the experience of BTNRH faculty who have mentored postdoctoral fellows (as part of the T32 grant), provided research training to AuD and PhD students at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, and mentored AuD trainees who participated in the first cycle of the T35 program. T35 trainees will be recruited from AuD programs nationally, with special efforts to identify and recruit trainees from under-represented populations. Several measures will be used to assess program success including (1) exit questionnaires completed by each trainee, (2) a survey questionnaire sent to AuD program directors who are asked to provide an assessment of the impact of the T35 traineeship on their students, (3) the number of T35 trainees who go on to the PhD in preparation for a career in research, (4) the number of AuDs who work in positions in which research is emphasized, (5) the number of trainees who present their work at the national meeting of the American Auditory Society (AAS), and (6) the number of publications on which trainees are either first authors or co-authors.
