DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this training program is to prepare successful researchers in Communication Sciences. The number of doctoral graduates in that field falls far short of the need in academics. Given a growing need for health care professionals in speech- language pathology and in audiology, this shortage could have devastating effects on the training of professionals in this field. Moreover, the need for research to support clinical efforts is crucial. Several factors contribute to the shortage of doctoral graduates: 1) the relatively small number of research training programs; 2) lack of financial support for doctoral students; and 3) difficulties faced by graduates in establishing a program of research in academic settings. The proposed training program will address these problems by supporting interdisciplinary training of individuals with interests in communication studies, broadly defined. Trainees will be recruited from the departments of Electrical Engineering, Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Psychology, Rehabilitation Sciences, and Speech and Hearing Sciences, as well as the Graduate Program in Neurobiology and Behavior. The proposed preceptors are accomplished scientists with well funded laboratories and international reputations. Fields of inquiry represented include auditory development, auditory perception and learning, auditory physiology, animal communication, cochlear implants, genetics, language development, language science and disorders, signal processing, speech motor control, speech perception, and voice. The proposed program will support 6 predoctoral trainees and 1 postdoctoral trainee. Trainees will interact with each other and with preceptors in a variety of venues, including formal presentations and colloquiua, seminars, and required coursework, to ensure broad exposure to the discipline. Trainees will develop the skills necessary for a successful career in research through courses in grant writing, responsible conduct of research and career development. The postdoctoral training program will recruit PhDs who are specifically interested in cross-disciplinary training. Interdisciplinary training will better prepare students in Speech and Hearing Sciences to become successful researchers and to compete for research funding. By exposing trainees from related fields to the issues that are central to Speech and Hearing Sciences, we hope to attract researchers to the field and to familiarize researchers with potential applications of their approach to communication sciences and disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划的长期目标是培养传播科学领域成功的研究人员。该领域的博士毕业生数量远远低于学术界的需求。鉴于对言语病理学和听力学领域的医疗保健专业人员的需求不断增长，这种短缺可能对该领域专业人员的培训产生破坏性影响。此外，支持临床工作的研究需求至关重要。造成博士毕业生短缺的几个因素：1）研究培养项目相对较少； 2）博士生缺乏经济支持； 3）毕业生在学术环境中建立研究计划时面临的困难。拟议的培训计划将通过支持对广泛定义的传播研究感兴趣的个人进行跨学科培训来解决这些问题。学员将从电气工程系、耳鼻喉科-头颈外科系、心理学系、康复科学系、言语和听力科学系以及神经生物学和行为研究生项目中招募。拟议的导师是拥有资金雄厚的实验室和国际声誉的卓有成就的科学家。研究领域包括听觉发育、听觉感知和学习、听觉生理学、动物交流、人工耳蜗、遗传学、语言发展、语言科学和障碍、信号处理、言语运动控制、言语感知和声音。拟议的计划将支持 6 名博士前培训生和 1 名博士后培训生。学员将在各种场所相互交流并与导师互动，包括正式演讲和座谈会、研讨会和必修课程作业，以确保广泛接触该学科。学员将通过资助写作、负责任的研究行为和职业发展等课程，培养成功研究职业所需的技能。博士后培养计划将招募对跨学科培训特别感兴趣的博士。跨学科培训将更好地帮助言语和听力科学领域的学生成为成功的研究人员并竞争研究经费。通过向相关领域的学员展示言语和听力科学的核心问题，我们希望吸引研究人员进入该领域，并使研究人员熟悉他们的方法在沟通科学和障碍方面的潜在应用。
