DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The funds requested in this application are for partial support of the workshop "The Mouse as an Instrument for Ear Research VI" to be held at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, on September 14-18, 2014. This workshop is one of a kind and will focus on comparative, translational aspects of characterizing auditory function in mouse models of human hereditary hearing and balance disorders. It represents an intensive training opportunity for graduate students, postdocs and investigators wishing to gain expertise in characterizing mouse auditory function. This workshop is for a small number of participants and includes classroom lectures in the morning, followed by laboratory sessions in the afternoon. It is the primary aim of this workshop to promote communication between both research and clinical investigators in various fields of biology related to hearing and balance, with a focus on the realized and potential applications of the mouse to their field of study. Toward this end, students and established investigators from several disciplines will have an opportunity to share new ideas, identify potential collaborations and help chart a course for the future of ear research. Lectures will be offered in the Highseas Conference Center, and hands on sessions will be held at The Jackson Laboratory main campus in the Applied Genetics Training Laboratory. In an era of expanding mouse model resources, practical training in phenotyping and related methodologies will continue to be of enormous benefit to researchers in the field. The only current educational offerings that address auditory biology and disease are either large amorphous society meetings or limited-entry workshops that require more than a two-week time commitment.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请中要求的资金用于2014年9月14日至18日在缅因州巴尔港的杰克逊实验室举行的研讨会“小鼠作为耳研究VI的仪器”的部分支持。本次研讨会是独一无二的，将集中在人类遗传性听力和平衡障碍小鼠模型中表征听觉功能的比较，翻译方面。它为希望获得表征小鼠听觉功能的专业知识的研究生、博士后和研究人员提供了一个强化培训的机会。这个研讨会是少数参与者，包括上午的课堂讲座，下午的实验室会议。本次研讨会的主要目的是促进与听力和平衡相关的各个生物学领域的研究和临床研究人员之间的交流，重点是小鼠在其研究领域的实际和潜在应用。为此，来自多个学科的学生和已有的研究人员将有机会分享新的想法，确定潜在的合作，并帮助制定耳研究未来的课程。讲座将在公海会议中心举行，并将在应用遗传学培训实验室的杰克逊实验室主校区举行实践会议。在小鼠模型资源不断扩大的时代，表型和相关方法的实践培训将继续为该领域的研究人员带来巨大好处。目前唯一解决听觉生物学和疾病的教育产品要么是大型无定形社会会议，要么是需要两周以上时间承诺的有限进入研讨会。
